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:

Wonderfully done, Marco! I love how you emphasized the obvious physical difference between Zeus and Hermes. Let's hope the unpleasant message doesn't result in the 'kill the messenger' ending. A beautifully put together scene.

Beautiful detail, lighting, and poses! Wonderful shading of the skin! Excellent composition and detail. I like the banners, waving either from a slight breeze or Zeus' displeasure. Great expressions and poses! Zeus looks decidedly put out, and Mercury looks unhappy, but determined. Superb image!
