What we have here is a failure to communicate. I was referring to the famed Roman Emperor whose talents with the lyre were completely opposite of that of Hermes.
Haven't you ever heard the old legend "Nero fiddled while Rome burned"?
Granted, it was impossible, but people blamed him on the fire anyway. He was the last of the "Mad Caesars" and was known for not only being a bad musician but also a complete kook.
(Example: He decided that it was time people learned to fly. So he took about fifty some-odd people and tossed them off of a tower to their deaths.)
Nero's instrument of choice was the lyre. People say its the fiddle by the legend, but, the fiddle was not to be invented for over a thousand years.
Plus, the mythological hero that used his lyre talents to win back his lover's soul was a mortal, and one of the Argonauts.
Anywho, what is it going to take to get my soul back? I'm quite perseverent about this.
