History

Birth and Abducting Apollo'due south Cattle

Hermes was born old later on the Kickoff Titanomachy, the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and the Pleiad Maia. (The god's place of nascence was, according to many sources, Mount Cyllene in northeastern Arcadia). Being a god, he matured apace and within a few minutes of his birth stole the cattle of Apollo and invented the lyre. He even thought of a clever way to cover upwardly his offense: tying bundles of grass to the cows' anxiety and leading them backward out of the pasture to make it look similar something had been led into the pasture but not away from it.

Infant Hermes stealing Apollo'south cattle in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

Despite this, Apollo found out and went to Zeus for justice. When brought earlier his father on Mount Olympus, Hermes attempted to charm Zeus into letting him go by telling him he was just an innocent newborn baby. Undeceived, but tickled past the child's boldness and wit, Zeus instead forced him to compensate Apollo, which Hermes did past presenting him with the lyre. Apollo was instantly enchanted by the instrument and forgot about his anger immediately. Hermes also traded the shepherd's pipe (another invention of his) to Apollo in exchange for his gold staff (Caduceus), sword, and knowledge of the art of prophecy. When he came of age, Hermes was made the messenger of the gods.

Chelone

Hermes was in charge of distributing invitations to the many guests of Zeus and Hera'south wedding. Amongst them was the nymph Chelone, who had no desire to come to the celebration. An angry Hermes and so lifted her firm and hurled it at Chelone, transforming her into the offset turtle.

Pandora

When his father Zeus decided to create the irresistible Pandora (in guild to punish Epimetheus for his brother Prometheus' deportment), Hermes helped by gifting the girl with deceitfulness, which was what profoundly contributed to her finally opening her pithos.

Messenger of the Gods

As the messenger of gods, Hermes would oft serve as the intermediary between the gods and the mortal earth. As a result, Hermes became the only major Olympian that could freely enter the realm of whatsoever other god without an invitation. One of his tasks would also be to lead the souls of the deceased to Charon in the Underworld.

The Starting time Gigantomachy

During the Beginning Gigantomachy, Hermes brought downward the Behemothic Hippolytos with the assist of the mighty demigod Hercules.

Hermes was also the 1 to reluctantly complimentary Ares from the latter's 13-month long imprisonment in Otis and Ephialtes' Celestial Bronze jar.

Typhon

After Zeus' defeat in his beginning battle with the monstrous storm behemothic Typhon, Hermes constitute his father's disabled and immobilized body (since Typhon had ripped his divine tendons out), and carried it to a cave with the aid of the minor satyr god Aegipan. Later Aegipan managed to trick Typhon into returning Zeus' tendons, Hermes helped re-adhere them to his father with careful zaps of the lightning bolts retrieved back from the storm giant's bag. As a god, a very grateful Zeus healed nearly instantly and requested that Hermes stay out of the style of his final grandiose battle with his colossal foe, Hermes being more than than happy to comply.

Helping Perseus

When his demigod one-half-brother Perseus was given the seemingly impossible task of beheading Medusa, Hermes promptly arrived to assistance, bringing with him a magical expandable bag, a pair of winged sandals (like to his own), and a replica of Hades' Captain of Darkness. Hermes so gave the demigod strict instructions on how to utilize these items and advised him to visit the Grayness Sisters first, as they were the only ones who knew the location of Medusa'due south secret lair, which then Perseus, being grateful, tried to give him a hug.

Trojan State of war

During the Trojan State of war Hermes sided with the Greeks and delivered Zeus' order to Achilles that the hero return Hector'south torso to his father, King Priam. When Priam sought to ransom Achilles to return Hector'south body to him, Hermes guided him at night to the hero's tent.

Hermes later aided the hero Odysseus against Circe and later told Calypso to either let him go or face the wrath of Zeus.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

The Bounding main of Monsters

Helping Percy Jackson

He appears to Percy Jackson on the embankment where he motivates the young demigod into going on a quest, despite the fact Tantalus denied his request. The god as well lends some aid to Percy and his friends past supplying them with some handy magical items such as a thermos, which acts equally a compass and releases winds from the four corners of the earth, and some magical vitamins. The real reason behind Hermes's deportment is the hope that Percy volition bring Luke, ane of his numerous sons, back from the side of Kronos.

Later, when Hermes brings Percy a letter of the alphabet from his begetter, Percy says that he'due south sorry that Luke wouldn't mind to him, and that they concluded up trying to kill each other. Hermes comforts Percy and says that in that location is still time for Luke to alter his mind, that "Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy", and in that location isn't much anyone can do near it. He seems to want Percy to defy Tantalus because he may have thought Percy could bring Luke to his senses.

The Titan's Expletive

When Percy is tried by the Twelve Olympians, he defends Percy and asks the other gods who were in favor of not disintegrating him. When Apollo tries to do a haiku he interrupts and says that they should move onto the next topic. He voted in favor of keeping Percy alive. During the Olympian celebrations, Hermes has a conversation with Percy but is interrupted by a phone call on his caduceus.

The Last Olympian

Hermes gets aroused with Annabeth Hunt because she wouldn't run off with Luke, and Hermes is afraid that Luke won't have a adventure now. Percy gets angry at him and asks him that if he loves Luke so much, why wasn't he effectually when Luke was a child instead of abandoning him and letting Luke get angry at him and the other Olympians. Hermes is furious at the implication that he had abandoned Luke and forgot virtually him, he and Percy do not speak over again until Luke dies when Percy apologizes for his words.

Hermes forgives Percy but is even so grieving over his son. When the Fates take Luke's body, he gives him a final blessing and kisses his son on the forehead. When Percy forces the gods to swear that they will claim their children by age xiii, Hermes gives Percy a listing of his children outside of Army camp Half-Blood and asks him to personally escort them to the army camp; Percy promises that he volition.

It is stated that one of his duties is to monitor interactions between the divine and mortal worlds and assist mortals rationalize these interactions. This is because he is the messenger between the divine and mortal worlds. He seems bitter well-nigh this considering he did non receive the celebrity and worship that the other gods had told him that he would get.

When Carter and Sadie Kane encounter up with Thoth he mentions that the Greeks dislocated Hermes every bit Thoth.

The Heroes of Olympus

The Lost Hero

Hephaestus mentioned that Hermes is bored at home due to Zeus' ban that no Iris Messages, visions, and dreams are to be sent to demigods, so he has nothing to deliver to anybody. When Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, and Piper McLean are in Detroit, they stumble upon a family of cyclopes made upward of Ma Gasket and her sons. The trio talk about how they had just eaten a child of Mercury, i of Hermes's children from Army camp Jupiter.

The Demigod Diaries

The Staff of Hermes

Hermes lost his staff and sends Percy and Annabeth to observe it. Later Percy retrieves information technology from the behemothic Cacus, Hermes rewards him by sending the couple on a date in Paris, since he is the god of travel.

Hermes in The Demigod Diaries

The Mark of Athena

Hermes, along with most of the other Olympians, was incapacitated (with his personality split between himThe Staff of Hermes and his Roman form Mercury) after Leo was manipulated by Gaea into shooting upon Camp Jupiter from the Argo II.

While the god does not announced, when Annabeth falls downward a pit looking for the Athena Parthenos and breaks her ankle, she finds a crate belonging to Hermes Express. She initially thinks information technology might exist something useful, as Hermes delivers to gods, spirits, and demigods. Unfortunately, all she finds is bubble wrap inside and becomes frustrated at the messenger god, hoping it would be something to help her on her quest. Annabeth soon changes her mind and uses the bubble wrap to brand a bandage for herself.

The House of Hades

Much to their surprise, Percy and Annabeth stumble upon an erstwhile shrine to Hermes while wandering through Tartarus, and discover food (that his demigod children at Camp One-half-Claret had burned for him) on the chantry. Hence, Annabeth subsequently uses this link with her camp to send a message to Connor Stoll. It is later given to Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who, in turn finally gives information technology to Reyna.

The Blood of Olympus

When Reyna, with the help of half dozen pegasi finally manages to place the Athena Parthenos on One-half-Blood Hill, golden light ripples across the ground, seeping warmth into the basic of both Greek and Roman demigods, and curing all of the Olympians (including Hermes) of their split personalities. As a result, Hermes promptly arrives in Athens to participate in the final battle with the Giants. Hermes helps slay the Giant Hippolytos, afterwards which Hades sends the latter's body back to Tartarus.

Afterward the Giants' defeat, Hermes is seen attempting to flirt with Athena, though she promptly makes him back off with her fearsome Aegis shield. He watches equally Zeus hurls the Argo II back to Camp Half-Blood.

The Trials of Apollo

The Hidden Oracle

Apollo mentions that Hermes enjoys riding in the dorsum of the Sun Chariot.

The Tower of Nero

Equally he and the other Olympians lookout Apollo during the Battle of Nero's Tower, he and Ares talk about their wager.

2 weeks subsequently he attends a coming together to welcome Apollo back to Olympus and hastily explains why they were betting on if he survived the fight or not. He leaves when it is over.

Personality

Hermes is, unlike many of the other Olympians, a generally reasonable and helpful figure and he has a greater understanding of mortals (much like Artemis). Hermes is not decumbent to the overt arrogance of some like Zeus or Ares, nor the character quirks like Apollo or Aphrodite. Office of this may exist due to part of his job being to assistance mortals rationalize divine events giving him a greater understanding of things across himself. He is shown to intendance a great deal for his children (peculiarly Luke) and to be far more than accepting of others. Both traits are not common among the other major Olympians.

Hermes's visits are oft beneficial to gods and demigods alike, and often help them out, though this is frequently at the request of another god or personal motivations. Hermes tends to be 1 of the more clever and cunning of the gods, as he tricked Argus into falling asleep and fifty-fifty outsmarted Apollo when he was a child. Since another one of Hermes's jobs is to guide the souls of the deceased into the Underworld, he is i of the few Olympians to have been on practiced terms with Hades before The Terminal Olympian. In add-on, as revealed in The Claret of Olympus, Hermes seems to have unrequited feelings for Athena.

However, as shown in The Last Olympian, Hermes tin can become very angry when crossed, or especially if someone implies that he does non care about his children. Even so, Hermes takes his duties as a god very seriously, rather unlike Apollo and Dionysus, who take their duties and responsibilities in a much lighter style. Every bit a outcome, Hermes will not breach his divine duties, even to salve his own children, since not fifty-fifty he can defy the Fates, as attempting to exercise so would only make matters worse. All in all, Hermes is by far one of the near reasonable and benign Olympians.

Advent

He is described in The Sea of Monsters every bit appearing to resemble a middle-aged human with an athletic figure slim and fit with salt-and-pepper pilus, every bit a jogger, and in his original form has a muscular build, curly blackness hair, blue eyes, elfish features, and a sly grin. He has been known to wear nylon running shorts and New York City Marathon T-shirt while jogging, an outfit similar to a mailman's when delivering mail with a pith helmet which sprout wings, and a suit. He carries a cell phone which turns into a caduceus. He has been known to sport winged shoes. When Hermes becomes furious in The Last Olympian, he has a furrowed brow, his eyes get steely cold, and his facial expression hardens "like [he'd] turned into marble."

Mercury

Main article: Mercury

Hermes tin can change into his Roman counterpart of Mercury. As Mercury, he becomes more disciplined, militaristic, and warlike like almost Roman counterparts of Greek gods get. He has children and perhaps descendants at Camp Jupiter in San Francisco. As shown in The Blood of Olympus, Mercury'south children, much similar Hermes's, take a penchant for mischievous pranks and theft.

"	My son, I'm the god of travelers, the god of loads. If I know anything, I know that you must walk your own path, fifty-fifty though it tears my eye.	"
–Hermes to Luke, in The Last Olympian

Luke, his favorite son.

Despite all the mistakes Luke had made in his life, Hermes still considers him to be his favorite son. Being a god, Hermes could non interfere with Luke's fate and was forced to watch him grow without e'er being able to talk to him. Luke on the other hand resented his begetter for never beingness there for him, especially when his mother was having i of her fits. When the two finally did see, they only ended upward arguing. Hermes knew that Luke would eventually turn against the gods, but couldn't tell him his eventual fate. Luke took this every bit Hermes not caring about him at all and turned abroad from his father, claiming that Thalia Grace and Annabeth Hunt were his new family and he didn't need him anymore.

As time passed, Hermes nonetheless tried to help his son and build him up to be a smashing hero. He asked Chiron to send a satyr to assistance Luke in reaching Camp Half-Blood, which ended upward existence Grover Underwood. After years of preparation, Hermes had Chiron give Luke a quest to steal a golden apple from the Garden of the Hesperides. This just served to drive Luke farther away from his begetter, every bit the quest was ane that other heroes have done before. Luke's quest also ended in failure, leaving a large scar under Luke's left centre that served equally a reminder of his failure.

Even afterwards Luke officially joined the forces of Kronos, Hermes never gave up on him. Because he couldn't go to his son directly, he would ask for the help of other demigods in the hopes that they could save him. Even after always failed endeavour, he nonetheless never gave up hope. After Luke'southward death, Hermes take his son a concluding cheerio and kissed him on the forehead equally the Fates took him abroad.

"	You couldn't marry if you became the Oracle. You couldn't see me anymore.	"
–Hermes to May, in The Last Olympian

May Castellan was one of Hermes many lovers. May'southward ability to see through the Mist was what originally attracted Hermes to her. Together, they eventually had a kid together named Luke. Nonetheless being a god meant that Hermes couldn't stay with May and was forced to leave. As time went on, May began to take visions as her power to come across past the Mist grew. She somewhen decided that she would get the new Oracle of Delphi, as that is what she felt was her destiny. Hermes on the other paw tried to stop her, equally the spirit of the Oracle hadn't successfully moved on to some other mortal host in decades. May was driven mad in the process and was plagued with visions of the hereafter, mostly well-nigh her son's eventually fate. When speaking with Percy, she mentions that Hermes comes to visit her, but it is unknown if it is really him.

Earlier declining to become the Oracle, May was happy raising their son and Hermes would visit her from fourth dimension to time. One of his main objections to her becoming the Oracle was that if she did, he couldn't see her anymore. May notwithstanding knew full well that Hermes would eventually motion on, as he was immortal. When he went to protest, she asked that he not endeavor to spare her feelings. Years afterwards May's insanity, Hermes still feels horrible for what had happened and never forgot her.

When this fails (with Luke and Percy nearly killing each other), Hermes doesn't get angry and tells Percy you can't surrender on family.

Despite Percy declining to salve his son, Hermes held no grudge toward Percy and voted that he non be destroyed in The Titan's Curse. At the after party, Percy tried to tell him that Luke had (supposedly) died when Thalia kicked him over a cliff, but Hermes got a phone telephone call and had to leave.

Percy and Hermes have a small falling out during The Last Olympian. With Luke at present hosting the Titan Kronos, Hermes becomes angry at Annabeth for reasons Percy doesn't understand. When Percy defends Annabeth and starts blaming Hermes for Luke's choices, Hermes almost blasted Percy into ash, if not for Percy being in the easily of the Fates. The two reconcile afterwards Luke'south death, with Percy apologizing for thinking that Hermes was a bad father to Luke and Hermes apologizing to Percy for getting mad at him and Annabeth, when he was actually mad at himself. Before they part means, Hermes entrusts Percy to find a few of his demigod children and make sure they make it to campsite.

"	I knew she would have a part to play in his fate. I foresaw that much. I idea perhaps she could exercise what I could non and save him.	"
–Hermes talking about Annabeth, in The Last Olympian

Annabeth, a daughter of Athena.

Hermes also placed his hope in Annabeth, every bit she had known Luke longer than anyone else. When trying to convince Percy to board the Princess Andromeda to find Luke, Hermes as well guided Annabeth to Percy in the hopes she would join him. Despite Annabeth and Percy declining to bring Luke back, Hermes assistance no ill volition toward the girl. However, when Luke appeared on her door one dark, request her to run away with him before he did something terrible, she refused thinking information technology was a trap. This enraged Hermes as he had idea she could do what he couldn't and prevent Luke from becoming Kronos. Fifty-fifty after a full year, he still aid resentment toward Annabeth and threw the events of that night back in her confront, causing Percy to have to step between them. Even later on Luke's death, Hermes admitted to Percy that he was really angry with himself and shouldn't have gotten mad at Annabeth.

However, the two still weren't on the best of terms during The Staff of Hermes, with Percy over again having to stride betwixt the two when they start to fight. After Annabeth helps become Hermes' Caduceus back for him, the two have begun to become more than civil around each other. Interestingly, every bit revealed in The Blood of Olympus, Hermes seems to have unrequited feelings for Annabeth's mother Athena.
