Hermes
Hermes was a Greek god. He was a messenger for the gods, and brought people to the underworld. He had 6
children and his father was Zeus.
He was he god of commerce, speed travel, thieves, and he’s was mainly known for being the messenger god. He was
the messenger for Zeus and those messages where sent at that very moment. Hermes was very fast therefor god of speed. He
could send the messages faster than any other god. He also brought people to the underworld for Hades.
His father was Zeus and his mother was Mia. Mia was a regular human. Nothing special about this human except the
fact she had a relationship with Zeus. Zeus had lots of children but this one saw as a useful child. That was the reason Hermes
is now the messenger god.
Hermes is also a trouble maker. Just five minutes after he was born he had an idea. Apollo had some cows and kept a
very good eye on them. So Hermes wanted to see if he could out smart his and get his cows. Hermes got up and walked and
thought. He used his abilities to herd up the cattle and moved them up hill. Apollo got a report from a nearby farmer that he
saw a kid with some cows that looked like his. Apollo found Hermes and took him to Zeus. Zeus thought it was funnier than a
real problem. That is how he is known also as the god of speed and thieves.
In conclusion, Hermes played a good role in Greek mythology wars or other important events. He sent messages for
Zeus to make wars start. He even brought people to the underworld to make the other important people die.
