So Athena is the oldest child, Apollo in the cannon of epic taught Hermes to sing, he probably could have thought his other siblings. My head cannon for this is that Athena was busy with some random war so Hermes shape shifted in to her to sing this bit lol

And special requests like: - a triple angry fish skewer (featuring the legendary 3-sided skewer), - a floating island, - a Holy Moly seasoned soufflé Aaaaand i ran out of ideas…
