"Hermes, beloved of Polydeukes, one of the Dioskouroi, made him a gift of Dotor, the Thessalian horse."
Ptolemaios Chennos, New History
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Hermes, Polydeukes, Satyr or Silenos, Italic Stamnos, 400โ€“350 BCE

โ€ฆ
Hermes, Polydeukes, and a satyr old and fat enough to be called Silenos are shown in a scene possibly inspired by a satyr play. Hermes stands at the left, his right leg propped on the tendril of an adjacent palmette. He wears high-laced sandals and a winged helmet and carries his caduceus in his left hand. He looks back to the right at Polydeukes, who stands looking at the egg in his left hand that contains his sister Helen. In his other hand is a mattock, with which he will crack open the egg.โ€ฆ

The immortals of Mount Olympos were not exclusively engaged in momentous feats. In this black-figure vase painting, three of them are shown fishing, each perched on a rock. Poseidon (not shown) holds his catch in one hand, his trident in the other. Herakles tries his luck with a rod while Hermes gesticulates at him, probably talking rather than fishing. He wears his boots, traveller's hat, and short chlamys cloak. His kerykeion staff rests in his right hand.
