Descriptive Essay About Hermes

Have you ever done something bad just for the fun of it? You may have only done it once and felt bad about it, but the case is different with the greek god Hermes.

In fact, on the same day that he was born, he stole from his own brother Apollo and then went on to lie about it (Laurel). Hermes also had many affairs with not only goddesses, but also with nymphs and mortals (“Hermes”). Since he was a messenger, Hermes was always travelling around so he wasn’t very set and steady in his ways. Being a messenger also gives him the opportunity to meet other women and have affairs.

Zeus is known for his promiscuous action. Often times he fell in love with one woman after the other and attempted to disguise his infidelity from his wife. Zeus left no woman behind in his crazy love-life, the god married and had children with his sister, Hera and. Hera was not Zeus’ only siblings. He also had two brothers, Poseidon and Hades and another sister named Hestia. His parents are known as Cronus and Rhea.
