Hermes Has Disappeared!
By: Gillis Wang, Bolognapolis Representative

Travelers, fishermen, and tradesmen have lately been experiencing difficulties and becoming misfortunate. The cause for this ruckus is because Hermes has gone missing from society! This will affect their direct lives but will eventually affect the lives of you and me.
Hermes, messenger of the gods. He is also the god of merchants and commerce, athletes and travel, public speaking, shepherds and thieves. His command is wide spread.
Without this character in our society, everything eventually will come crashing down.
We have lately been informed by major agencies like the Ancient Greek Polise Department and the National Board of Investigation that Hermes was not present at the most recent press and Olympian conferences. We’ve also been contacted by the “Big Three”.
Zeus reported that he last saw Hermes helping as a spy and messenger in the Battle of Marathon. He also states that he may have passed down to Hades’ Underworld to recover from his long, 26 mile run from the Marathon Plains back to the city.
Hades response to the question was: “What? No one ever visits me, whether they are here for business or for leisure, no one comes! There’s nothing for him to do here!” Hades later said he hasn’t seen or heard from his brother for over two months. “And I don’t really care,” he says. But he does know about his disappearance from rumors and also has been informed about the victory runner from Marathon. According to Hades, there has been close to no action regarding Hermes, politically or leisurely.
Poseidon was able to provide the same amount of information Hades had. To add to that, he says, “It makes sense that Hermes and that messenger are somehow connected”. He also said that a God would be able to recover much more quickly than the time that he has been missing.
NBI has provided us Intel. However, it cannot be written down or said for it is not final. It is still an open case.
Based on the information, I would like to suggest that somewhere along the lines, Pheidippides and Hermes are connected.
As Representative of the Strait of Salamis, I propose that everyone be on the lookout for further clues on the disappearance of Hermes and the possible whereabouts. Any clues, please report to the NBI.
