About This Quote

The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.   The bird of Hermes, or the messenger of god, was known for being very small. The Greeks used to use the bird to send their words throughout the world. So, when they were using it in saying that they are not who they are because they are being captured by someone else to be used by them, then that's what they meant. They are being captured by people who have power over them and getting their wings eaten off to make them tame.
