“Is that a baby stealing like 40 cows?”

“Leave it alone, Hera.”

[vamprose]

Jon Solo: *does a sponsorship knowing well are attention span is short*


Also Jon Solo: *pulls out puppy to bring us back in*

[IceQueen]

Apollo: Dad?
Zeus: Yes?
Apollo: I suddenly regret wanting to be an older sibling.

My history teacher said we had to do a Greek mythology project on which god/ess of our choice, and I chose Aphrodite. I used your video as reference and cited it in my PowerPoint. You deserve more attention tbh. 🖤 Love your content and your personality. 🖤Edit: woah ! I've never had this many likes on a comment before! Thank you guys 😭🖤

So nobody talking about how cute that puppy is...


Ok just me

[_MaximumVoltage]

Zeus: Alright kid, I need you to get me this cow from Argos

Hermes: Naaahh man, I left that cow thieving life ages ago 😎.

Jon, have you ever thought of doing some videos on Ancient Egyptian mythology? I've heard some pretty hilarious and messed up stories (e.g. the Ancient Egyptians believed the world was created when some dude ejaculated.)

[TheMimiSard]

As Overly Sarcastic Productions pointed out about Hermes, he remains the most represented Greek god in modern times, appearing in brand logos for things all the way from Goodyear, to courier companies, to medicine, to numerous mercantile and communication businesses. Those brand logos vary from Hermes' profile, to winged sandals, to the caduceus.

2:03 when you're a cat person at heart, but Gunther is just that cute, so you smashed the hell out of the like button

[loneronin]

Jon Solo: Talking about fascinating Greek mythology

Me: "Awwww what an adorable puppy!" <3 <3 <3

Don't worry Jon, we all still love ya lol

Gunther is too gosh darn cute though ^_^

[grace]

Literally left Netflix for this. Yeah, I'm that big of a fan 😂💖

[sheriffpablo]

To Be fair, Disney's Hermes is just Paul Schaffer with winged sandals...

[CalsGirl]

Disney definitely did him dirty. I think he's a pretty rad god now.

[zarennaangel]

Hermes also pleaded with Hades to Give Persephone back on Zeus' and Demeter's demands.
Jon could you cover the Legend of Narcissis and Echo?

[marissabones]

Hermes is like that aunt we all have, that's always up in everyones business

[lils]

I remember in Rick Riordan’s story about Hermes stealing the cattle, when he played dumb, Apollo said “you have barbecue sauce on the corner of your mouth!”

[luciferherring]

Hermes is my favorite god! So none of this was new to me, but I still love hearing about him anyway. And hearing it from you is just a bonus!

[Twystedsyxx]

My favorite portrayal of Hermes has to be the one in the Percy Jackson series. Nathan Fillion is the best. My favorite child of Hermes is Autolycus, the prince of thieves. Bruce Campbell did a great job playing him in the Xena series. You can tell by his fast talking and quick hands who his father is. Great video. I am really enjoying this series. :-)

Spoiler alert: Hermes was the OG Boss Baby.

[LadyVTavora]

I'd like more videos about Hermes (He's one of my favorite deities to study). It'd be appropriate seeing as he is linked with swift communication (i.e. youtube). Perhaps talking about him more will invoke his powers (and more mythology nerd subscribers!).
