Your divine problem
Hermes
The small print says hello.
He'll sell you the solution. He owns the problem, too.
You like clever shortcuts, good deals, and people who always “know someone”. Hermes will offer you a faster route, a special price, and an opportunity that expires today. By noon you'll have three subscriptions and ownership of something that turns out to be a metaphor. At least delivery will be quick.
- Your trap
- “I'll make an exception for you.”
- The warning sign
- The word “free” is followed by six conditions and a wink.
Read the small print. If it starts running away, Hermes wrote it himself.The Poet, who did warn you

The gods aren't done yet.
Iphicles has the same problem in The Last Virgin on Olympus. Except his questions don’t stop at ten.
