Κάθε προσπάθεια ανάδειξης της μυθολογίας είναι καλή αν και εγώ γνωρίζω άλλη εκδοχή και δεν ξέρω καν από ποιον αναφέρεται αυτή η εκδοχή!

[@SEIKILO]

Σε ευχαριστούμε για το σχόλιο, Tekmirion! Όπως κάθε μύθος στην ελληνική μυθολογία, έτσι και αυτός έχει αρκετές εκδοχές. Η εν λόγω είναι από τις πιο συχνές (αν όχι η πλέον συχνή) στην ελληνική γραμματεία. Πηγές υπάρχουν πολλές, μπορείς όμως να ξεκινήσεις την έρευνα σου από τις εξής δύο: - Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and Homerica, Hymn IV, “To Hermes” - Bibliotheca by Apollodorus (or Pseudo-Apollodorus), Book III

@@SEIKILO 🙂Μα ούτε ο Απολλόδωρος λέει αυτήν την εκδοχή, ούτε κι ο Ησίοδος... αλλά θα την έχω υπόψην μου αν την πετύχω να την αναφέρει κάποιος άλλος γιατί η γνωστότερη εκδοχή είναι αυτή που υπάρχει ολόκληρη στον Απολλόδωρο που μετά το κλέψιμο ο Απόλλωνας μέσω της μαντικής τον βρίσκει και πηγαίνει στην Μαία και παίρνει τον Ερμή και τον πάει στον Δία... κλπ κλπ

Hermes did

[@SEIKILO]

Maybe, but how? Thanks for the comment, Jamie. Stay tuned to watch the full story!

​@@SEIKILO In the myths he killed a tortoise (poor tortoise), and used the hollowed out shell, then put the horns of the cattle he stole from Apollo (that story always makes me laugh), and ate (after sacrificing it to the Gods), and used the guts to make strings. After Apollo found Hermes, and confronted him about his stolen cattle (and after taking him to their father, Zeus), Hermes distracted his big brother by bringing out his newly invented lyre, and playing it. He gave it to Apollo in exchange for Apollo's cattle, the Caduceus, winged sandals and winged helmet (though the Caduceus, talaria, and helmet apparently were exchanged for a syrinx {double flute that Hermes also invented}). Apollo became the God of Music, and declared Hermes the most beloved God. The two became best friends after that, and stayed best friends. Hermes is probably the only sibling Apollo is the closest to (besides his twin sister, Artemis).

This is great. The story was new to me. I love how it was told. I wish to buy this book and ask the office to send me one picture of the typical page to see if my machine can read it for me. I hope they'll send it to me soon.:-)

[@SEIKILO]
