Where did Hermes get his caduceus?
Hermes stole Apollo's cattle when he was five minutes old, and when Apollo found out, he was upset. Hermes had made the first lyre (stringed instrument similar to a harp) and Apollo wanted it. Some versions say Apollo traded the cattle for the lyre, so Hermes made a flute, a panflute. Apollo also liked the panflute and traded this staff, The Herald's staff of Caduceus, and in return Hermes gave him the panflute.
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).
Why did they worshiped Hermes?
Hermes is the messenger of the gods. He was worshiped because he protects and takes care of all the travelers, miscreants, harlots, old crones, thieves, and merchants that pray to him. If you are wondering why he protects thieves it's because he is very much like a thief himself. When Hermes was born he slipped away from Maia (his mother) and stole his older brother Apollo's cattle.
Which god plays the harp?
Apollo: the god of light and sun, music, and poetry (among other things). One of his symbols is the lyre, a stringed instrument similar to the harp.
How old was Hermes when he was messenger god?
I don't know, but he pulled his first "trick" when he was just a toddler. The story goes that he stole his brother's, Apollo's, oxen. He then snuck them out of the pasture by making them walk backwards and tying brush to their tails so that they would erase their own tracks. However, Apollo got wind of it and arrived at the cave where the oxen were hidden, demanding that Hermes hand over the cattle. Hermes however had made an instrument out of 2 ox's hamstrings, and played it before Apollo. Apollo was so enchanted by the music that he forgave his brother and claimed the instrument as his own. This instrument became to be known as a lyre. A U shaped instrument with strings and a sound box.

Why is Hermes considered a master thief?
Probably because at just a few days old he got out of his crib and stole Apollo's sacred cows. But he's also cunning. He made a lyre and Apollo was so pleased with it that he forgot all about killing Hermes!

What did Hermes make a lyre out of?
Very, but he was not evil. On the very first day he was born he stole all of his elder brother, Apollo's, cows and tricked Apollo into thinking that the cows went the other direction using sticks and mud, and Hermes was less than a day old when he did that. It was like a prank.

How do you write myths about Apollo Greek god?
I'll give you some things you may want to know about Apollo before you write a myth: Hermes and He are best buds, (they used to be enemies due to Hermes pulling a prank on him when Hermes was a baby, but they are now friends because Hermes gave him a lyre instrument) Apollo is the father of his deceased son, Paetheon, and is the god of the sun. Writing Greek Myths means you should include a lot of Greek culture, like dracmas (ancient Greek Money) and greek architecture (like the trireme or the parthenon). I hope you consider the wise words of this twelve year old who is insanly obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, and Avengers. (: (: (: (: (: (:
What was unique about the birth of Hermes?
The birth of Hermes was unique because he was conceived and born within a day. His mother, Maia, gave birth to him in a cave, and by evening, Hermes was already leaving the cave to embark on his mischievous adventures. This rapid development and swift movement from birth to activity set him apart from other gods.
