The story is set in Ancient Greece, specifically in Sitia, a town in the isle of Crete, where a golden feather falls on a homeless old man, who prophetizes the birth of a great hero in the town, who will become king all over Greece. Said feather enters the royal palace on top of a mountain and heralds the birth of a baby which is announced all over the town, giving him the name of Hermes. However, the prophecy reaches the Palace of Knossos, where the tyrannical [[BigBad King Minos]] lives. Threatened by the idea that someone from a town as tiny as Sitia would have a strong ruler that can topple him, Minos seeks to destroy Hermes.

* SadlyMythtaken: Hermes and Aphrodite named their baby son Eros, which is far from accurate to the original source material. While some of the original myths depict Eros as Aphrodite's son or created from the concepts of Dawn and Night, none of them depict Hermes as his father. Moreover, Happy Science probably took this license because they didn't want to deal with any implications that could come from the name of Hermes and Aphrodite's ''actual'' son, [[{{Hermaphrodite}} Hermaphroditus]].
