History remembers Hermes as the messenger of the gods: fast, clever, charming, and just dishonest enough to be useful.
Hermes remembers things differently.
He was barely a day old when he stole Apollo's cattle, invented the lyre, and talked his way into a permanent seat on Olympus. Since then, he has carried messages between gods, crossed the boundary between the living and the dead, rescued the impossible, lied to nearly everyone worth lying to, and built an entire identity around being the one person who could always find another way through.
According to Hermes, most of the stories you have heard are technically accurate.
They are also missing context.
Now, in his own words, the god of thieves, travelers, merchants, boundaries, and convenient explanations is setting the record straight. From the truth behind his first legendary theft to the mistakes no ancient poet bothered to preserve, Hermes recounts the myths that made his reputation—and the moments that nearly broke it.
Because being clever enough to escape every consequence is not the same as escaping what those choices make you.
Funny, sharp, and unexpectedly human, MYTHSUNDERSTOOD: HERMES reimagines Greek mythology as an autobiography from the one god who has always controlled the message.
