Hermes Can't Read - Tumblr Posts

Hermes headcanons :p

Note*: Hermes was human/demigod before he was turned into a god

-adding to the note above, Hermes had ADHD

-He also never learned how to read because 1. Poor and 2. Education was for rich people and even that was rare.

-Hermes doesn't know how to read meaning he can't read where the letters are supposed to go or who they are addressed to

-Zeus chose Hermes to be messenger not only for his speed but also because he can't read meaning he can't divulge important or top secret information.

-Of course, Zeus didn't count on George and Martha to read the letters to Hermes and he especially didn't count on Athena and Apollo to help teach Hermes how to read.

-Hermes' ADHD only grew once he became a god.
