Hermes

He is a Greek God. He started as a baby that made his own toys and developed into a god. he was claimed by Zeus the messenger god. a few things Hermes said was: to his half brother that only knew of 11 gods he said "But i have the honor to be the twelfth". another "I require no vast dignities. only a chance to be useful, to serve you, and to dwell in your benign and potent presence. let me be your herald. Let me carry your tidings. you will find me quick and resourceful, and what i cant remember i will make up. and, i guarantee, your subjects will get the message".

Since this book has multiple stories I have chosen to write about the story of the Titan Prometheus, and explain the setting.

The setting is in of course Ancient Greek, where Prometheus gives a gift he called called. Why is this important? It gives us an idea of how the Greeks thought fire came to be in existence. The interesting part is that Prometheus got in trouble for this gift giving and was shackled by Zeus, I don't know why he would have to do that because fire is an essential part in survival for us. obviously Zeus couldn't see that.
