Hermes stole Apollo's cattle when he was five minutes old, and when Apollo found out, he was upset. Hermes had made the first lyre (stringed instrument similar to a harp) and Apollo wanted it.

Apollo also liked the panflute and traded this staff, The Herald's staff of Caduceus, and in return Hermes gave him the panflute.
