By Mika Provata-Carlone *02

Published Jan. 21, 2016

The world of Greek mythology comes alive through 100 journeys taken by the precocious young god, Hermes, in his passage from childhood to adulthood. Hermes’ adventures and misadventures — discovering fire, stealing sacred cows, inventing the lyre and flute — only serve to endear him to his fellow gods, including his father, Zeus. Mika Provata-Carlone *02 is a scholar, editor, photographer, and illustrator.
