hmm. i don't think that Hermes could travel that fast- in Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, he gets outrun by a mortal:

"Althaemenes... set out from Crete with his sister Apemosyne... Hermes loved [Apemosyne], and as she fled from him and he could not catch her, because she excelled him in speed of foot..." (Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, 3.2)

but WITH his sandals, he can fly as fast as the winds, as written by Homer in the Odyssey:

"Straightway [Hermes] bound beneath his feet his beautiful sandals, immortal, golden, which were wont to bear him over the waters of the sea and over the boundless land swift as the blasts of the wind." (Homer's Odyssey, 5.45)

i couldn't find anything about Apollo being a speedster unfortunately ://

this isn't what you asked, but i'd say that Iris was probably the fastest. she travels "along rainbows"- the implication being that she travels at the speed of light which, of course, is faster than sound. idk about thought though!

"Unseen by any, the virginal Iris speeds to earth, sliding along the curve of a rainbow of many colours." (Virgil's Aenid, 5.606)

does hermes fly faster than sound or thought? i remember reading either he or apollo was as fast as thought/ spoken word but i forgot 💀 if someone has a source, thatd be super helpful
