-Hermes is an Olympian deity in ancient Greek religion and mythology, where he is considered the herald of the gods and the protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators. Hermes is the emissary and messenger of the gods as well as "the divine trickster", able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine with the aid of his winged sandals - he also plays the role of the psychopomp or "soul guide", a conductor of souls into the afterlife. Hermes is often presented as Zeus's son by Maia of the Pleiades.
+Hermes is an Olympian deity in ancient Greek religion and mythology, where he is typically Zeus's son by Maia of the Pleiades. Considered the herald and messenger of the gods, Hermes is likewise the protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators. Hermes is known as "the divine trickster", able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine with the aid of his winged sandals - he also plays the role of the psychopomp or "soul guide", a conductor of souls into the afterlife, making him a god of boundaries and guardian of graves. The most notable symbol of Hermes is the caduceus (or ''kerykeion''), a winged staff intertwined with two snakes copulating and carvings of the other gods; his other attributes and symbols include the rooster, the satchel, ''talaria'' (winged sandals), and the winged helmet or simple ''petasos''.
-Hermes figures in several notable Greek myths: he delivers the golden apple of the Hesperides to Aphrodite, whom Paris declared to be the most beautiful in a contest that would kick off the Trojan War; in some tellings of Perseus's encounter with Medusa, Hermes gifts the hero his adamantine ''[[Wikipedia:harpe|harpe]]'' (a sword with a sickle or scythe in the blade) and helm of darkness to aid in beheading her; and in the Odyssey, he aids his great-grandson Odysseus in avoiding the powers of Circe.

In Roman mythology and religion, many of Hermes' characteristics are attributed to Mercury.
