Pontus - The sea god. That's who I would be if I could be any Greek God.
Garrett chose Hermes. Hermes - Hermes' main role was as a messenger. As the special servant
and courier of Zeus, Hermes had winged sandals and a winged hat and bore a golden caduceus, or magic
wand, entwined with snakes and surmounted by wings. He conducted the souls of the dead to the underworld
and was believed to possess magical powers over sleep and dreams. Five minutes after he was born, he stole
a herd of cows from Apollo. He invented the lyre from a cow's internal fibers. After Apollo learned what
happened, he knew that his half-brother should he one of the pantheon. Hermes was the patron of trickster
and thieves because of his actions early in life. His attributes in iconography include the kerykeion
(messenger's staff), winged boots, and petassos
.
