Hermes (/ˈhÉœË rmiË z/; Greek: á¼™Ï Î¼á¿†Ï‚) is an Olympian deity in
ancient Greek religion and mythology. Hermes is considered the herald
of the gods. He is also considered the protector of human heralds,
travellers, thieves, merchants, and orators. He is able to move
quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine,
aided by his winged sandals. Hermes plays the role of the psychopomp
or "soul guide" â€" a conductor of souls into the afterlife.In myth,
Hermes functioned as the emissary and messenger of the gods, and was
often presented as the son of Zeus and Maia, the Pleiad. He is
regarded as "the divine trickster," for which Homer offers the most
popular account in his Hymn to Hermes.
