Modernised Aesthetics of an Ancient God

Hermes:
Hermes is the Greek God of transition and boundaries and is the messenger of the Gods. He is the son of Zeus and Maia. Hermes moves between the worlds of the Mortal and the Divine.
Greek mythology is known through Greek literature and representations on visual media. It dates back to 900-800 BC.








The Hermes I created is a modernised version; wearing modern apparel such as a shirt, a pair of shorts and sunglasses. He is seen to be carrying an iPhone (since he is the messenger of the Gods) and he is also seen to be holding his staff - the Caduceus - which represents who he is as this is something he has been carrying since the beginning of his time.
