⚡ Meet Hermes: The Messenger of the Gods
Who exactly is Hermes?

Talk about multitasking! 🎸Cowboy boots not included. 🐄
Fun fact: Hermes became the official messenger of the gods because no one else could run as fast or lie as convincingly. Need proof? Check out how he tricked Atlas into holding up the world so Prometheus could escape. Sneaky, right? 😈
