ARES APHRODITE  MR. POSTMAN

APOLLO ZEUS (he forgave me after (Dad made me put him in my TOPS) our little cow incident)

Hey y'all. Its ya boy Hermes. I've been chillin all around the world with my fly kicks, literally, they fly. Bringin all ma dead homies to that underworld! If ya don't know me heres some quick facts bout me. About Me: I like to fly around with my sick shoes. Although my job is to deliver messages, it isn't what i really like to do. If it wasn't for my flying shoes I probably wouldn't do it. On the other hand, I like bringing people to the underworld. Since I'm such a prankster I like to sneak Zeus in to the Underworld sometimes to piss off Hades. [] media type="youtube" key="ZnbIwNM1Pac" height="151" width="171"
 * I'm the son of Zeus and a mountain nymph
 * I'm god of shepherds travelers, merchants, thieves
 * I'm a messenger, lame, of the Gods
 * In Rome they call me Mercury
 * I was born in a cave on mount cyllene
 * I jam out on the first lyre, which i invented
 * LOL. I stole cattle from Apollo as a baby (he's not a very smart god)
 * I can't live without my music so i invented the pan-pipe
 * I have a winged traveler's cap, a staff with two intertwined snakes and my custom Nike's with wings. Oh, and I'm an athlete.
 * I guide dead souls to the underworld
 * I'm a prankster and inventive genius
 * I usually aide gods on their quests

How i came to be:

I was born in a cave on mount cylenne. My mother was so tired after the birth that she fell asleep. I climbed out of the cradle and walked all the way to Peria. I stole some of Apollo's cows. I was smart enough to make a couple of them walk backwards so we couldn't be tracked. I killed a couple of the cows as a sacrifice to the Greek gods, and used some of the entrails of the cows to create a lyre. I fashioned them on to a shell of a tortoise I found and killed on my way back. Apollo almost had me killed in front of my father Zeus, but I had him mesmerized with my wonderful music from the lyre that he let me go.

Highlights of my life:  When Perseus set out to face the Gorgon Medusa, I aided him in the quest. I loaned him my own magic sandals, which allowed him to fly. Some say that I loaned Perseus a helmet of invisibility as well, but I didn't. Also known as the helmet of darkness, this was the headgear that I wore when I vanquished the giant Hippolytus, so theres no way I'd let a mortal wear it. Perseus did end up killing Medusa. Go Perseus!

It was I, Hermes who liberated Io, the lover of Zeus, from the hundred-eyed giant [|Argus], who had been ordered by [|Hera] , the jealous wife of Zeus, to watch over her. I charmed the giant with my flute, and while Argos slept I cut off his head and released Io. Hera, as a gesture of thanks to her loyal servant, scattered the hundred eyes of Argos over the tail of a peacock (Heras' sacred bird.)
