In the story, where the Greeks recount the origins of their gang, Hermes remembers when he was taken away from his mother a few weeks after birth and trained to race on the dog tracks; after he was rejected, he was taken in by a family who neglected and mistreated him until he ran away from home.
He also recounts how he met Achilles and Artemis, after the latter had taken over from their father Apollo and his friend Zeus, and they took him in as part of the gang.
==Trivia==
*Hermes is, rather fittingly, named after the Olympian messenger god who was associated with travel, trade and speed. In classical art, the god is often depicted sporting a helmet adorned with wings. 
*When Hermes recounts meeting Artemis, she asked him whether he knew Apollo or Zeus; in classical mythology, Hermes was the son of Zeus and the goddess Maia and the younger brother of Apollo, the latter of whom he created the lyre as recompense for stealing his cows.
