Hermes (Mercury)

In Greek mythology, Hermes is often associated with Aphrodite. Marriage in mythology seldom existed however, and the term Consort is more often used.

He lived in Mt. Olympus with the 11 other gods.

Cronus, Argus, Mikaboshi, Makkari, the Titans and Typhon are the enemies of Hermes. Hermes is a quick Olympian messenger of God. He is also the god of wealth, boundaries and transitions.

Hermes (Roman name: Mercury) was famous for being a swift messenger. He is depicted as having wings on his shoes and sometimes on his hat as well. The company FTD flowers uses a drawing of him for their logo.

his symbol is his winged hat, winged shoes and herdsman's staff

Hermes was the messenger god

With his wand, he can put the waking to sleep or awaken the sleeping. For example, when Hermes put to sleep the many eyes of Argos. And then he basically bored poor Argus to death and his eyes are now the ones of the peacock.

he had a caduceus. which he used in combat. it had special powers

Twelve of them lived on Mount Olympus.
There were twelve ruling gods and goddesses, and these lived upon Olympus or upon a heaven called after or above Olympus: nearly all the Greek gods and goddesses had a nature - they represented nature, or emotion, and dwelt on earth, in the sea, or heaven, all rivers were thought to be gods.

He lived on Mt. Olympus with the other Greek gods.

He did not die, he is immortal

he had winged sandals and a winged helmet. he was the god of tricksters, theifs. mercantile, and the olympian messenger, but other than the normal god powers no

the winged shoe He used to deliver messages.

The caduceus or something, it's like a cane with two snakes entwined on it and wings coming out of the top. It is sometimes featured on the sides of ambulances because of Hermes' quickness.

Actually, Hermes is also the patron god of doctors and all in medical professions, so the Caduceus is featured on ambulances because it represents medicine.

According classical mythology, Hermes was born to Maia on mount Cyllene in Arcadia as the son of Zeus, the king of all of the Greek gods. He is known for the wings on his sandals which helped him fly, as he was the messanger of the Olympian gods.

He was a god of travel protector of the wayfarers. He was as eloqent as a public speaker, as cunning as a thief.

Hera's animal is a peacock because it was said she was as proud and self centered as a peacock. Also the Peacock she created it in memory of her servant who had 1,000 eyes which are the spots that look like eyes on the peacocks feathers.

First you have to wait until the position is open. Until then you can go around shouting "I am God! Pray to me! Bow down before me! Worship me, I command you!" This may be about as close as you can get. It will certainly get the attention a god should get. Except in New York City, where you will be ignored. I recommend downtown Los Angeles, where you will soon gain a following. This will also work almost anywhere. Soon you will reap the benefits of being a god, with attendants and all your needs provided. Note: Please do not do this in my neighborhood, however; I am trying to sell my house.

Mercury's Greek counterpart is named Hermes. His symbol is the caduceus, and he is god of traveler thieves and merchants

As Hermes was a Greek God and the messenger of the Gods he was probably on at least speaking terms with all of the Greek Gods. I would say he was probably friends with most of the Gods and Goddesses as he was the herald/messenger.

Hermes is a greek god. He is also Zeus' son, he was born a genius, and learned to walk and play the lyre at a very very early age. He stole his brother Apollo's cattle, and made it up to him By giving him the lyre. Hermes is also Zeus' messenger.

Hermes was an ancient god in mythology ... the son of Zeus and Maia. He was the Messenger of the gods, and Guide for the Dead to the Underworld.

Well we're not sure exactly. We know A.C. Doyle carved the character after himself. In some parts of the books we get hints including: -He has a bullet from a rifle in his right leg from a war. -He has a short mustache but no beard. -He is rather portly. -He has brown eyes.

Ok, so the first woman created was Pandora and this is her story:

It started with a guy named Prometheus. He was the titan who created humans. Anyway, everything was alright with mankind but there was no fire so they couldn't cook anything. Prometheus obviously felt bad but Zeus had said that Prometheus could give humans anything except for fire. Long story short, he gave fire and he was cursed as an eagle would eat his liver everyday and being a Titan it would heal by nightfall so it would be very painful. He had a brother, Epimetheus and Zeus decided to punish Epimetheus too. So he created a woman called Pandora and Athena gave her curiosity and Aphrodite gave her charms and good looks. Epimetheus had been warned by Prometheus, via dreams to not trust anything at all but when they gods gave Pandora to Epimetheus, he was like No way she can be a bad thing. The gods also gave Epimetheus a jar ( but the object is different in other versions ) but they told him never to open it. Pandora being curious wanted to but Epimetheus told her not to but eventually she opened it. All the sins got released but the second time when she willingly opened the jar again, the Hope spirit was released.

Before scientific knowledge available to us today, people invented divine forces to explain the forces of nature and events. We have physical archaeological evidence of this going back up to 60,000 years ago.

The familiar Greek gods were brought into Greece by nomads in the second millennium BCE, who replaced or overlaid the previous inhabitants and their gods. Being nomads, they had sky gods; the previous agricultural inhabitants of course had earth gods. The new gods had to absorb the old gods (just as in Christianity it has absorbed previous practices eg Christmas being reset from January to December to absorb the hard-to-stamp-out Saturnalia, and popular Isis was absorbed into Mary). So in Greece the earth goddess Demeter was retained as a mystery cult; Apollo raped the priestess at Delphi (ie pinched her shrine but kept the priestess and snake), etc etc.

We have an obvious high-god progression Uranus-Chronos-Zeus with each predecessor deposed by succeeding waves of nomadic invaders and their own substituted. And there were all the other gods who looked after different parts of the environment and activity (eg Hermes, as well as being messenger of the gods, was patron of medicine and thieves).

The Greeks themselves were aware of this succession of gods - the 5th Century BCE tragedies refer to 'the old gods' and 'the young gods' (ie the current ones).

Messenger god

The Egyptian god Anubis was identified with Greek Hermes, or Roman Mercury.
