What is Hermes weaknesses?

Hermes can not stay still for too long. When he was only two days old, he stole some of Apollo's cattle, and swept away the foot prints. He only got caught when one of the other gods heard music from the cave where Hermes and his mother were. When Apollo found two cow skins, Hermes said he was sacrificing them to the gods. He also had made an instrament out of some of the parts of the cow. Apollo was very fond of music so Hermes and Apollo created the first band (sort of).


Where and when was Apollo born?

We don't know when he was born. If he is there, he was always there. Apollo is said to be born on the 7th day of the Greek month Thargelion. (which is estimated to be around May 25th) Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto. But Hera, Zeus's wife was angry at Zeus's philandering. Leto could not find a safe place to give birth to her children for even the land feared Hera's wrath. But finally, she found the floating island of Delos and that's where Apollo and his sister Artemis was born. The twins, Artemis and Apollo were born on the floating island of Delos, in the Aegan Sea. There was a prohibition given to their mother by the goddess Hera that she not give birth on either land or sea. Since Delos was a floating island it was not against Hera's prohibition. Also, The island (Delos) was surrounded by swans. Afterwards, Zeus secured Delos to the bottom of the ocean. This island later became sacred to Apollo. It is also stated that Hera kidnapped Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth, to prevent Leto from going into labor. The other gods tricked Hera into letting her go by offering her a necklace, nine yards (8 m) long, of amber. Mythographers agree that Artemis was born first and then assisted with the birth of Apollo, or that Artemis was born one day before Apollo, on the island of Ortygia and that she helped Leto cross the sea to Delos the next day to give birth to Apollo. Apollo was born on the seventh day (ἡβδομαγενης) of the month Thargelion -according to Delian tradition-or of the month Bysios-according to Delphian tradition. The seventh and twentieth, the days of the new and full moon, were ever afterwards held sacred to him.
