Whatever Hermes touched with the rod became wise, loving and unselfish. One time he saw two hissing serpents about to spring at each other in fury.
He touched them with the caduceus. Instantly they twined themselves lovingly around the rod and never again left it.
Apollo also gave Hermes charge over all the cows in the blue meadow. Hermes loved the cows and often took them with him on his journeys.
He was a wild youth and a great traveler, and so it happens that in nearly all the countries of the world Hermes and his white cows have been seen.
IRIS’ BRIDGE.
N the sky where the amber tints are seen on the clouds, Iris was born.
She loved her home and all the beautiful things around her.
