(here's a snapshot of the chap)

Hermes all the way! ;D

Hermes is for travelers, linguists, writers, speakers and athletes. Hermes is the god of boundaries, travelers and more generally commerce. He protects travelers and thieves that worship him and he delivers messages to the gods. In this sense he is both cunning and athletic. Homer wrote that Hermes was born in a cave of Mount Cyllene in Arcadia. Upon his first day of life he happened to invent the lyre. He would later exchange his lyre after stealing the immortal cattle of Apollo, as Apollo was enchanted by the lyre. He also supposedly invented fire, and the sport of wrestling. The study of hermenetics (interpreting hidden meanings) is named in Hermes' vain. Symbolically, Hermes is associated with his winged shoes and cap.
