Hermes, the messenger of the gods, was himself the god of the herds and heraldry, markets and athletics. Supplicants wishing to obtain his favor would leave gifts on one of his altars. Gifts of gold or silver were rare as only the very wealthy could afford such. Gifts of food and/or drink were much more common. It is said that Aesop left offerings of goat's milk and honeycomb to Hermes in order to gain wisdom.
