Hermes and Apollo's cattle

This is a 17th century drawing of Hermes and Apollo's cow by Herman van Swaneveldt

On the day he was born, Hermes stole and hid Apollo's cattle. When Apollo came to retrieve the cattle, the baby Hermes jumped back into bed and pretended to be an innocent child.

Apollo was very angry. He complained to Zeus about how he had been treated. However Zeus found the incident very funny.
