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.

Magnificent! Hermes looks pretty grim, too, so it must be a bad message! I think they've been watching what's going on in the world today!!

another great picture of the roman empire. started with stephen baxters "time's tapestry book one: emperor". history sf which gives a very good overview about the reasons of the fall of the roman empire... this picture looks more like an greek story but seems there is a roman eagle flying in the background ;)
