That would be baby Hermes. As the god of Merchants, traveling, roads, thieves, and messages, Hermes found Apollo's herd, and got them to walk backwards. This utterly baffled Apollo. When he found Hermes, he was about to strike him, when Hermes gave him a gift. The lyre (a handheld harp). When Apollo stroke a cord, he cried, and said it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. From then on, the lyre became Apollo's favorite instrument.
