He is so fast with his special shoes…
His sandals, called pédila by the Greeks were made of branches, but were described as beautiful, golden and immortal, and enabled him to take the roads with the speed of wind. Originally they had no wings, but late in the artistic representations, they are depicted with them. In certain images, the wings spring directly from the ankles. He has also been depicted with a purse or a bag in his hands, and wearing a robe or cloak, which had the power to confer invisibility. His weapon was a sword of gold, which killed Argos.
