Hermes is the son of Thundering Zeus, who gave his favorite son many roles to play in the history and evolution of mankind. Among the most important are those of generating speech, language, learning and eloquence. On the other hand, Zeus also made Hermes the god of mendacity, and the author of crafty and devious words.

H E R M E S • messenger of the gods

Hermes is most well known for his wit and cunning. Through myths, including one where he steals Apollo’s cattle, he established himself as the trickster of the Greek pantheon. As messenger for the gods and god of boundaries and travelers, Hermes also acted as the mortals’ guide into the Underworld. He is usually depicted with winged sandals, a wide-brim hat or helmet, and a caduceus. Hermes’ Roman name is Mercury.

Hermes.

Just think about it. Seriously. 

First of all millions of people walking around all over their towns, plenty others going between cities, dedicated to truly catching them all. 

Strangers meeting, becoming friends, bonding over this video game that’s returned with a vengeance. 

Not to mention the money they’re bringing in for these companies.

I think this has Hermes alllll over it

You have no idea how tempted I was to make a epithet for him based on this; “The Ultimate Pokémon Champion”

Don’t let me forget

I owe Hermes “chocolate, and vanilla butter lemon” flavored “sheep goat lamb” shaped cookies

What that means is for me to figure out at the time of making, I suppose

Also, I didn’t promise anything specific, so I need to figure out something for Apollo as well. Maybe he shall also have a sheep goat lamb cookie.

Hermes is the smell of gasoline and diesel.

The unique scent of highway asphalt and the coffee you clutch between your shaking, over-caffeinated fingers.

Hermes is the slightly cold bag of Mcdonalds sitting between the driver and passenger on a long drive.

Hermes is the streetlights dancing across the painted lines you’re oh-so-tempted to swerve across.

Hermes is always moving towards the horizon, and never looking back.

Hermes is road stop diners, where he meets Hestia for a bit of home.

Hermes is all the windows down on a cloudless day.

Hermes is the electrifying feeling of going full throttle on an abandoned back road, sending dirt and gravel flying.

Hermes is late nights and going so fast you worry you’ll fly off the road on a sharp turn.

Hermes is adrenaline-inducing, spine-tingling freedom, and the will to do what you choose.
