Hermes is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in Greek mythology, and each god in Olympus has its own identity and responsibilities.

For example, Zeus was the god-king, Athena was the patron goddess of Athens, the goddess of war and wisdom, and Hermes was the mythical god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and animal husbandry, and the messenger of the gods.

The Greek gods and goddesses were not represented in the same way in mythology, and even the internal struggles between the gods had their own victories and defeats, the Greeks worshipped the gods and believed in the gods, and they believed in all the gods, some of which were widely respected and worshipped by the world, while others were disgusted.

Zeus and Hera were of great prestige and status, but none of the gods were revered more than the sun gods Apollo and Athena, and it was not only the goddess of discord who was not popular with the Greeks, but also Ares and Hermes.

Hermes is the protector of thieves and the protector of merchants, in ancient Greece thieves were disdained by people, and merchants were also hostile to people, because most of the merchants were female businessmen, so Hermes also had a bad reputation in the world.

There is a fable in Aesop's Fables, and Hermes, wanting to know how much humans respect him, asks the sculptors on the street in his form of a human being.

He asked the sculptor Zeus about the price of the statue, and was told that it was only a silver coin, and then asked the price of the statue of Hera, to which the sculptor replied, "Hera is more expensive than Zeus."

After inquiring about the price of the statues of Zeus and Hera, Hermes told his true purpose and asked how much the statue of Hermes was worth in the store, how many Zeus or how many Hera they were worth.

He claimed to be the messenger of the gods, the protector of merchants, and the giver of wealth, and mankind should have held him in special respect, so his statues should be more expensive than those of Zeus and Hera.

"If you buy Zeus and Hera, then Hermes will give it to you for free." The sculptor rightly said, leaving Hermes speechless.

William's mind came up with the memory of Hermes in Greek mythology, and even on his heels, he could think that the river god who gave the fairy the gold coins of the sun and the silver coins of the moon should be the mythical Hermes.

On a moonlit night, William was already standing alone on the edge of the Seine, where the fairy in the forest had thrown down her bronze star coin.

There is such a saying, my success can be replicated, countless "successful people" have inevitably promoted it when they poured chicken soup, but William feels that there is a better saying, that is, my replication can be successful.

The sword in the stone was held in his hand, and in William's hand, he didn't feel any breath of destiny, let alone any special feeling, this was an ordinary broken sword, no divine magic, and no magic power, the upper half of the sword body was gone, but the hilt and the half-truncated sword were still well preserved. new

If it weren't for Prince Edward giving the sword to his father, and his own father giving it to himself, then William would never believe that the sword was the sword in the stone that King Arthur once used.

"Oops, how did my sword fall into the river?"

There was a loud clang, accompanied by William's own panicked voice, and the sword in his hand fell out of his hand, fell, and smashed into the river, bursting into a huge splash.

There were also huge ripples in the river, and with this ripple, it seemed that there was some hideous and terrifying monster to be born in the river, and the river was no longer in a calm state, and the whole river seemed to have infinite vitality, as if it had been awakened, and it could roll up huge waves at any time, swallowing up all the living beings nearby, even William was no exception.

This time, the movement seemed to be more exaggerated than the previous star copper coins thrown by the fairy in the forest, fortunately, this terrifying movement did not last long, maybe a few seconds, maybe more than ten seconds, and the entire river instantly returned to its original calm.

"Hello, William, son of Hercules."

The white-robed boy stood on the riverbank with a charming smile on his face, calling William's name and uttering words that made people feel creepy.

Son of Hercules, William.

If William was referring to me, then the son of Hercules was also referring to me, and he was terrified at this time, because the news was so shocking.

Whether it is Greek, Roman, Celtic or even Northern Europe, throughout Western mythology and history, there is a tradition of patronymic titles, and the father is prominent enough to become a title, a name to refer to the person.

If William is the Duke of Normandy, William can refer not only to him, but also to the Duke of Normandy, and Robert's son to him, just as the prince originally meant the son of the king.

Hercules is known as the son of Zeus, and the title of Zeus is also the son of Kronos, even if Zeus overthrows his father, it does not affect outsiders to call Zeus to use this title.

"My father is Hercules, the revered god of the river, is that mistaken?" William said in shock, almost forgetting the purpose of his visit.

"You are the son of Hercules in Taoism, and I am not wrong." The river god said lightly, not caring about William's shock.

William was speechless, only silent and could only say that his fairy mother had a really good time, and that he was the son of Duke Robert, the son of William the old blacksmith, and the son of Hercules.

A man can have many children, he knows it, but he has never heard of a child having multiple fathers.

Of course, he had also heard that it was not without examples of a person who was given two patronymic titles, such as Hercules.

Hercules was the son of Zeus and Alcmone, and Alcmene was the wife of the Theban king Amphitryon, Zeus coveted Alcmone's beauty, and changed into the appearance of Alcmone's husband Amphitryon, and finally Alcmene gave birth to Hercules.

Therefore, Hercules, who grew up on earth, could call himself both the son of Zeus and the son of Amphitryon.

The king of the world was put on the green crown by Zeus, and in addition to feeling "honored", can there be any disagreement, basically to pick up a cheap son or daughter.

"Well, son of Hercules, what do you wish for me, and what can I do to help you." The river god asked as a matter of routine.

"My sword fell into the river, it was a treasure given to me by my cousin, it is a very precious treasure, if I can't find it, I will be miserable."

William said with tears in his eyes, because his acting skills were not good, so his eyelids were his saliva, he already knew the identity of Hermes, so he didn't care about acting, and the river god seemed to know that William knew his identity, and he also jumped down the river expressionlessly to pick up the stone sword in the river.

The river god did not compete with each other like the fairies in the forest, but followed the procedure with William with a blank face.

They are all thousand-year-old vixens, what are you talking to me about?

You said that I am the grandson of Zeus, the son of Hercules, so how could I not know that you are Hermes, the son of Zeus.
