Evelyn-White 1914, engHermes makes a fire
109-114 He chose a stout laurel branch and trimmed it with the knife....
....held firmly in his hand: and the hot smoke rose
up. For it was Hermes who first invented fire-sticks and fire. Next
he took many dried sticks and piled them thick and plenty in a
sunken trench: and flame began to glow, spreading afar the blast of
fierce-burning fire.
