Experiencing Interruptions?

Hermes Remembers The Messenger * sub-titled

Note: Byron Ayanoglu a Greek from Istanbul, who was my partner for the past 38 yrs. Byron named after Lord Byron produced this movie and plays Zeus, Has died this past summer along with Paul William Roberts who plays Hermes Sr. May Byron and Paul RIP.
This movie has been re-edited because of this, thus adding more footage of Paul & Byron.

The Greek god Hermes remembers his past life through eternal recurrence.

Hermes, the most human-like of all the Olympian gods, is now old. On this day he remembers himself as a younger transgendered man, irrepressible but needy of his father Zeus and his aunt Aphrodite. He roams the world, on a quest for love and self-validation. He misbehaves it's true, but this is not a cautionary tale, he is after all a god and can do as he pleases.
Remembering Hermes is also a 4th dimensional being so he views time via eternal recurrence.
You see, TIME is circular and in layers for a 4th dimensional being. Memories are also seen both clear or hazy depending on their importance.

In the beginning it was young Hermes quest to find a way to fully love himself inside the inter-related domains of earth, sky, fire and water, in order to be successful and be a fully realized Messenger of the Gods.

Filmed in many wondrous locations around the globe since 1998, this story commingles the divine with the mundane across the vast spectrum of the imagination utilizing the five elements water, air, earth and fire & music; to arrive at it's quintessence.

NOTE : This movie is not controversial because it pertains to Mythological History.
