Goddess identity[]
Hermes/Mercury is the Olympian goddess of borders, travel and commerce, magic and messengers, and is worshiped by the magicians of the world as the Triple and Great Hermes.
Character background
As the most notorious of the gods, Hermes extended her patronage to prostitutes, thieves, swindlers, and anyone who broke the usual boundaries of behavior. For that was the true role of Mercury (as the Romans called Hermes). She stood on the boundaries, and was not reluctant to help anyone who crossed them.
Therefore, travelers would pray to the deity beforehand, asking her to guide them on their journey, and those who were about to embark on the longest and darkest journey of their lives would find Hermes waiting for them to lead them safely to the underworld. Along with Persephone and the witch god Hecate, Hermes was one of the few gods who could navigate Hades' gloomy underworld unhindered, and it was she who initially escorted the kidnapped Persephone back to the anxiously waiting Demeter.
Dead gladiators would be dragged out of the "Gate of the Dead" in the arena by staff dressed as Hermes' Roman incarnation, Mercury.
From Apollo, Hermes received her golden staff, the Caduceus. The Caduceus was a winged staff with two fighting vipers carved on it. In giving her this gift, Apollo also gave her new attributes. Hermes' new role was to act as a messenger between the warring parties, and she also became the patron saint of diplomats and messengers. It turned out that this new function was quite consistent with his original identity as the god of boundaries.
Hermes' main duty was to deliver the messages of the gods, but she was much more than a messenger. She was also the patron saint of commerce, travel, thieves, eloquence, sports, and borders. She was known for her cunning and wisdom. It was said that she stole her sister Apollo's cattle on the day she was born, and cleverly covered up her crime. She eventually reconciled with Apollo by giving him her homemade lyre, which made her one of the symbols of music and invention.
In Greek culture, Hermes is not only a deity, but also represents communication and connection between people. Her image often appears in Greek art and literature, such as in Homer's Odyssey, where she guides or helps the hero Odysseus many times. In Roman mythology, she appears under the name of Mercury, retaining similar functions and characteristics. As the "triple and great Hermes" that often appears in magic mysticism, she is further endowed with the identity of the guardian of cosmic truth. Her name is closely linked to alchemy, astrology and mysterious knowledge, and is the object of worship for magicians.
The temples, oracle and sanctuary of this goddess include the Temple of Mercury in Pompeii, the Temple of Hermes and Aphrodite on Samos, the winged staff, winged helmet, winged sandals, cock and turtle are the symbols of this goddess.
The famous descendants of this goddess include Pan, Hermaphroditus, Autolycus, Priapus, and Ephandel.
