∙ 14y agoHermes, the mythological Greek messenger of the gods (Mercury in Roman myth) was also the god of travelers, thieves, con-artists, and salesmen, shepherds and cattle herders, among his other attributes.
He was the son of Zeus and Maia, a nymph, and half-brother to Zeus' son, Apollo.
Hermes was known for his skill in covering up the misdeeds of other gods, and in particular was instrumental in finding good homes for his father's illegitimate children, thus keeping Zeus out of trouble with Hera, Zeus' wife.
Hermes is said to have had very many women in his life, and also to have fathered several gods, goddesses and heroes among his many children. He was also alleged to have been involved in the Helen of Troy scandal.
His symbol is the caduceus, a white-ribboned staff around which two snakes entwined, now considered the symbol of medicine.
Being a god, and therefore immortal, Hermes didn't die, but simply retired to Olympus, the mountain-home of the gods of ancient Greece.
