Hermes: The Great Messenger God

Hermes is the great messenger god. Hermes is the son of Zeus. His mother was Maia. He was the god of shepherds, travellers, merchants, and even thieves, and he also had the role of the messenger of the gods. His Roman name was Mercury. Greek god Hermes' attributes are a winged traveler's cap, the caduceus with the two intertwined serpents and the winged sandals. He was represented as an athletic young man.


My opinion about Hermes is that he played a very imprortant role of the gods. He delievered the messages for Zeus and the rest of the gods. I picked Hermes because of how important of a role he played in ancient greek times.
