Herme's and His Father

Herme's Great Father... Zeus

Herme's was the God of trade, theft, travel, sports and athletes. He was very athletic, smart, and extremely strong. These characteristics were great for a messenger to have, especially since he had to deliver mail as fast as he could.

These characteristics were not just from him. Thanks to his great father, Zeus, he got the amazing strengths he was know to have. His father created him and gave him every great strength, to make him a great athlete.
