(Alante):Hermes was a strong magician. His cadacaus also has the ability to cast sleep(I personally think of him being able to attack people using nightmares). Also, he's ridiculously fast and agile. He's also the inventor of boxing, and pretty much every other sport. He also can put people in a trance by playing his Flute.

How was the creation of Hermes?
Hermes was born a Greek God, of Maia and Zeus - also a Greek God, King of Heaven/Olympus.
According to some of the ancient Greek hymns which refer to Hermes in battle, they tell of his golden dagger. You can read more about this in "Hermes the Olympian" a story available on Amazon.com. Hermes used his wits far more than any weapon.
A thousand years after Hermes may have walked the Earth, Greek and Roman poets were still singing hymns about him. Some mention his son Hermaphroditos, who was supposed to be from Hermes' union with Aphrodite, after they supposedly spent some time together in Egypt. This seems more likely than some of the other possibilities because the name "Hermaphroditos" is a combination of Hermes' and Aphrodite's names. The poets say Hermes had many girlfriends and they even hint at one or two boyfriends, but because of his son by Aphrodite, she is his most likely wife. He also loved Persephone, daughter of Demeter, but many of the other Olympian men did too and the songs tell that nobody was Persephone's main lover. She was taken away by Hades to the underworld but Hermes brought her back to Demeter again. I reckon Demeter would have been very grateful to Hermes for rescuing her daughter from Hades. Read about their romance in "Hermes the Olympian" the first of a new series of books about him on Amazon.com.
Hermes did plenty of things. He has a big part to play in Homer's story of the Odyssey. You can read much more about the collection of things that he did in story form, in "Hermes the Olympian" a book by David Rosser, available on Amazon.
