Was Hermes crafty?

In: Hermes [Edit categories]

Answer:

Very, but he was not evil. On the very first day he was born he stole all of his elder brother, Apollo's, cows and tricked Apollo into thinking that the cows went the other direction using sticks and mud, and Hermes was less than a day old when he did that. It was like a prank.
