Hermes's profile

Herme's parents were Zeus, the mighty god and Maia the nymph. He was the god of thieves, sheperds, merchants, land travel, weight and measure. Being a herald of gods, his duty was to guide the souls of the dead to the underworld, where Hades dwelled.
Hermes is one who has totally different characteristics and personalites from Hercules. First of all, Hermes was known for his cunning and shrewd personalities; as soon as he was born, he set off to cheat on his brother, Apllo. Later on, when he got caught, instead of receiving punishments, he sneaked out giving the first instrument to Apllo. On the other hand, Hercules from the Disney animation was dipicted as a righteous and justice-loving demigod; he did many great works and risked his life to save innocent lives from monsters and disasters. Unlike Hermes, who was born as a god, while Hercules did all difficult tasks to prove himself as a hero, or a god. In addition, there are a lot of romantic plots in the movie, while there is no metion about Hermes falling in love with any women. They don't really share any similarities except the fact that themselves and their paretns are gods.
