That's nice. Maybe I'll give it a pass......when I'm high school.

Just how long is it, in terms of pages? (I assume that you are reading a book or a printed copy).

~IK

About 400.

Hermes is called giant-killer because he was in part responsible for the death of Typhon, the almighty monster who totally schooled Zeus and fathered some of the Greek pantheon's most familiar monsters (the Chimaera, the Hydra, Cerberus...)

I take it you haven't yet been shown the movie in which he flys around in a pair of golden hotpants leaving a trail of golden dust behind him like Tinkerbell?

Is he killing giants while he's doing that?

While we're on the subject of ruing childhood memories, anyone seen the Dragonball movie trailer?

Is he killing giants while he's doing that?

No, he's being a camp charicature of himself (Quoted line "I can look but I can't touch"). No giants were killed in the making of the Odyssey. A couple were harmed though (I'm looking at you Polyphemus!)

While on the subject of Polyphemus and Hermes...

Anyone read the Percy Jackson series?

Nope, because by the look of it they screw with mythology so much

They do, but in a good way that respects the original material, as opposed to the bad way the Disney movie Hercules did it.

Except the Disney Hercules (it's Heracles if he's Greek darnit!) threw in Soul Singers, James Woods as Hades and a bunch of elemental Titans, so I quickly forgave them

elemental Titans

Since when does fat count as an element?

He represents blubber.

Humans are made of flesh, right? So you got a flesh titan
