What name was Hermes recognized as?

This is a very good question, because Hermes was known to mortals through the poets and singers through the centuries of the Bronze age of the proto-greeks. He was known as "Hermes Criophorus" (carrying a ram over his shoulders) due to his role as a shepherd. He was known as "Hermes Psychopompus" due to his role accompanying spirits in the underworld. He was known as "Hermes Argeiphontes" to honour his achievement of killing the Giant Argos. He later became known as "Hermes Trismegistus" meaning thrice great. He had many names and many honours, because he was in my opinion the greatest hero of the Olympians. Read why and how he became great in "Hermes the Olympian" available on Amazon as an e-book and paperback.
