Hermes was a god of many portfolios (wealth, trade, luck, even thieves, etc), one of the cleverest and most mischievous of the gods on Mount Olympus.

Carl Ernst von Stetten’s Cleobis and Biton (oil on canvas, 1884) depicts the quiet aftermath of one of Herodotus’ most striking tales. At dawn, the brothers lie on a crimson cloak before Hera’s temple, laurel‑crowned and seemingly asleep, their bodies untouched by suffering. Only the shocked women emerging from the sanctuary reveal the truth: they will not wake. The painting recalls the legend in which Cleobis and Biton, famed for their strength, pulled their mother’s cart five miles to Hera’s festival when the oxen failed. Moved by their devotion, she prayed that the goddess grant them the greatest blessing a mortal could receive. That night, the brothers died peacefully in the temple — a gift the Greeks saw not as tragedy, but as perfect fortune, ending their lives at the height of honor and virtue. Von Stetten chooses not the heroic act but its serene, devastating conclusion: a meditation on duty, love, mortality, and the ancient belief that the happiest life ends at its noblest moment.
