It's the Day of #Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏

"Hera demanded the cow [Io] from Zeus, and assigned Argos Panoptes as its guard [...] Zeus instructed Hermes to steal her, and Hermes, unable to sneak her out because Hierax had told on him, killed Argos with a stone. From this came Hermes' surname Argeiphontes."
Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.7

🏛️ Attic red figure vase painting, circa 490 BCE
