Who is Hermes?

Hermes is one of the oldest Greek gods, appearing in bronze age tablets, as far back as 1100 BC, though he may have been worshipped much earlier than that. He is recognized to have the office of many domains including travel, herd and flocks, trade and mercantile, roads or pathways, thieves, rhetoric, messages; divine and mundane, diplomacy, trade, heralds, writing, language, athletes and gymnasiums, contests, astronomy, astrology, magic, technology, and most recently social media and all forms of mass communication. With all of those responsibilities, it is easy to see why he is the swiftest of all the Gods!

Hermes is the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia. His name comes from the Greek word "herma", a heap of stones that were used to indicate a boundary. he is also recognized by the name the Romans gave him, Mercury. The earliest center of his cult was likely Arcadia, where Mt. Cyllene was reputed to be his birthplace. There he was especially worshipped as the god of fertility, and his images were often portrayed as having a phallus.
