Hermes!

In Epic: The Musical, Hermes serves as a charismatic and chaotic catalyst who alters the course of Odysseus's journey. Making his biggest impact in the song "Wouldn't You Like," he injects a jazz-infused, theatrical energy into a dark narrative, contrasting sharply with Athena's cold logic. Rather than acting out of pure pity, Hermes provides Odysseus with the magical Moly plant to defeat Circe largely for his own divine entertainment, acting as a cosmic wild card who loves a good performance.
