To Trick a God
The god was as wild as the wind,
Nobody knew what he’d do next.
Not even him himself.
Hermes was always out and about,
In search of adventure.
And without a doubt,
The young god,
Was invested in many projects.
His favorite perhaps,
Was one of his firsts,
You see,
It was quite the infamous conquest.
The cattle was Apollo’s,
And Hermes a mere child,
To him,
The opportunity was nothing but golden!
Within the pasture,
Hermes guided the herd of cows to walk backwards.
It’d fool anyone who’d follow the trail,
Making it all the more funnier.
He’d fashioned a pair of hooves himself,
To conceal his very own footprints.
It was the perfect crime,
There was no evidence!
Apollo infuriated,
Went to Zeus demanding justice.
Zeus thought of Hermes,
Whose eyes had always twinkled with mischief.
He summoned the boy,
And demanded Hermes to apologize.
He did,
And in exchange for the cows,
Hermes gifted Apollo the lyre.
Seikilos Epitaph
The oldest known song in the world.
The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone, near Aidin, Turkey (not far from Ephesus). The find has been dated variously from around 200 BC to around AD 100.
Lyrics:
Hoson zēs, phainou Mēden holōs sy lypou; Pros oligon esti to zēn To telos ho chronos apaitei While you live, shine Don’t suffer anything at all; Life exists only a short while And time demands its toll.

Dragonbard
Get it? He’s a Dragonborn Bard... Therefore... Dragonbard.
THIS was actually really fun to do! The first is the original sketch, the other two pictures were inked by hand. You might see future recreations of this in the future... I love how it turned out. The eyes in the second picture look too cutesy to me, and I’ve been trying to figure it out. Perhaps I put too many dark lines there. Sometimes less is more.
