It is noteworthy that Hermes is described as an outspoken merry man and a buffoon. He loved practical jokes and stole the scepter of Zeus, the weapon of Apollo and the trident belonging to Poseidon for fun.

He has an incredible gift of eloquence, but also cunning, which turns him into a patron of merchants and even cheats. Homer called Hermes the “head of thieves,” but this unflattering nickname was well deserved. With each passing day, the abilities of the newborn Hermes manifested themselves more vividly. For example, on the fourth day of his birth, the young god noticed a turtle. He made a lyre out of her shell, which he began to play. In Pieria, he noticed a herd of cows that Apollo himself was tending to atone for his transgression. The perky Hermes decided to deceive the adult god.

The perky Hermes decided to deceive the adult god. With the help of music, he managed to steal cows, which he drove to a distant cave, where he made offerings to the gods. Interestingly, Apollo did not immediately manage to find the herd – to hide the hoofprints, Hermes tied branches to the legs of the animals that covered the tracks. When the enraged Apollo burst into the cave to Hermes, the kid began to deny, pointing out his young age. In addition, the villagers could not recognize Hermes – he changed his appearance several times along the way. Music reconciled the two gods. When Apollo heard the wonderful melody of the lyre of Hermes, he exchanged the entire cow herd for it.
