Hermes the prankster of the Gods sired the love child of Zeus and a pregnant mortal, Seemly, who died because love between a God and a mortal cannot safely be; Zeus like

like a proud godfather, quickly plucked her unborn fetus from her
dying womb, and stashed in his own thigh till born, after a while became tired of the extra weight, and plucked the child, once again, into the light,

"You intoxicate me, little one," Zeus laughed with joy of an infant child in tow, and pronounced, "you shall be the God of wine and good times."

Who better to represent wine, merriment and fertility, than a insatiable gender-confused child under he influence of Hermes, the prankster of the Gods and Zeus, the God of fire?
