Description
Hermes is a pretty incredible newborn. He invents the lyre, steals some cattle, lies through his teeth, all within mere moments of birth! (Also, it's a tortoise). Please listen to this episode before the Homeric Hymn to Hermes.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Theoi.com, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, translated by Hugh Evelyn-White and Jules Cashford, the Greek Myths by Robert Graves.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
