Garden of Doom E.258 Hermes/Mercury

Author of over 50 books, Caroline Lawrence enters the Garden. While we discuss a lot of things, our focus is on Hermes (Mercury for the Romans). We get his origin story. Lawrence makes sense as to why Hermes is the God of so many seemingly disparate things. We venture into Troy and the Aenied, Joseph Campbell, and talk a little Lucifer and Odin. Hermes might be the Mapquest of Gods. Hopefully, we'll hear more from Caroline in the future on Gods, Aesops Fables, our mutual love of Deadwood,etc. An excerpt from Caroline Lawrence.comHi! I’m Caroline Lawrence and I write books for kids. I’m best known for my 17-book Roman Mysteries series (which was televised by the BBC in 2007 & 2008) but I have also written books set in the American Wild West and Ancient Greece. I love history, movies, London and the craft of writing.

I'm told there are heroes and monsters in there also.
