Probably because Hermes is in a lot of the myths. He is a greek god, so there were myths written about him.
Myths are always told in the past tense (they began as verbal stories, only later written down.) The past tense is used because they purport to describe events that happened in the past.

This is unknown, because only the Greeks wrote about their myths at that time.
