Description

Hermes (Mercury in the Roman pantheon) was in Greek mythology the son of Zeus and the messenger of the Gods to men. He is often depicted with winged sandals and a winged hat to symbolize the swiftness of messages he delivers...as if they fly. He also carries the caduceus, a rod with intertwined serpents and surmounted by wings. It is a sign that he is a herald of the gods. Son of Zeus, the chief of the Olympian deities, Hermes also had several famous sons, including Pan an Eros. In our scene Zeus, holding a golden lightening bolt as the symbol of his supreme power, sends forth Hermes from Olympus to carry his message to mortal men. Judging by Zeus' expression, it does not appear to be a pleasant message...but fulfilling his duty Hermes swiftly flies forth to deliver it. Please ZOOM for a sharper image! Thanks for taking a look and for your comments! I appreciate them all very much! Thanks also for the many comments and favs on my previous image "One for All, and All for One" for all my friends:

Excellent scene! wonderful interpretation! It could be interpreted as Hermes better get that message delivered now or there will be a lightning bolt somewhere unpleasant....

Very nice work. I like the way that Mercury is zipping off and the way Zeus looks slightly peeved.. as a head Greek god should be. wonderful render!

Wow, Marcos, you never fail to create a flawless and magnificent work of art! This is superb! LOL @ Faemike ;-D I think the message may be something like "You humans have really made a mess of things, and I'm not very pleased..."
