Homer wrote a very improbable account of when Hermes was still a baby he stole a whole herd of cattle from his half brother Apollo. He later served his father honestly and faithfully as the messenger of Zeus, but he was certainly depicted as being sharp-witted and able to steal the helmet of invisibility right from under Hades' nose. I think that although he was clever and wily, he was by no means an evil or wicked thief and stole things to help people. Read more about this way of seeing him in the Amazon book: "Hermes the Olympian"
