===Hermes was the great olympian god of animals, roads, travel, hospitality, heralds, thievery, language, writing, athletic contest, gymnastics, astronomy, and astrology. He was the son and personal agent of Zeus, the king of the gods. He was depicted as either handsome and athletic, beardless and young, or as an older bearded man. Also he is pictured with a broad-brimmed hat or a winged cap, and winged sandals with a heralds staff. He is the son of Zeus and Maia. When Hermes was a baby he broke out of his crib and ran to his brother Apollo's farm. Hermes stole some of Apollo's cattle and took them back to greece. When he returned home he killed a tortoise, removed it's insides and then used some intestines from one of the cows from which he made the first lyre. Apollo told Mais that Hermes needed to return the cows. Hermes began to play his lyre and Apollo was amazed by the music. He told Hermes he could keep the cattle in exchange for his lyre. Hermes also created the pipes and flute. Since Hermes was the messenger of the gods it was his duty to guide dead souls down to the underworld. Also he is responisble for bringing dreams to humans.
