Blog "Entry 1.2: Internet Research"

In my days of work bugging myself on trying to find a mythological being, worth writing about I have grown fond of Hermes. Hermes is the God of many things, making him stand out to me more than any other Greek mythology God. Even though every God is specific in detail, Hermes stands out by being the God of many things and not just one thing, for example.
“HERMES was the great Olympian God of animal husbandry, roads, travel, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, trade, thievery, language, writing, persuasion, cunning wiles, athletic contests, gymnasiums, astronomy, and astrology.” - http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Hermes.html
I used http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Hermes.html, which was very useful and gets straight to the point on Hermes life story; other websites just bored me on countless filler that just made me not want to read anything anymore. This website provided me with the information I need to stay focused on Hermes, who in my opinion is the most intresting God. What I like most about Hermes son of Zeus and Maia, the daughter of Atlas, Is labeled as handsome and athletic, so if I would ever want a God’s persona, it would most likely have to come from Hermes. Being born in a cave of mount Cyllene in Arcadia, he grew up to be the personal agent and herald of Zeus, the king of the Gods.What is cool about this hell raiser is that in the first hour of being born he escaped from his cradle and went to Pieiria, and carried off some of the oxen of Apollo, God of the sun. Additionally from that point he was labeled as a thief, such as the many more thing he is. In those actions of thieft Hermes did not want to be discovered by the trace of his footsteps, Hermes then put on sandals and drove the oxen to Pylos, where he killed two, and concealed the rest in a cave. Cool fact on Hermes is that he is the fastest of all the Gods, which makes him an Olympian God and has not aged since reaching adulthood, “His attributes included the herald's wand or kerykeion (Latin caduceus), winged boots, and sometimes a winged travellers cap and chlamys cloak.” - http://www.theoi.com/Olympios/Hermes.html.
