Hermes HUR meez

Herald of the Immortals

The wing shod messenger of the Olympians, Hermes was the beloved son of Zeus and Maia (the daughter of the Titan, Atlas). As friend to the mortals, he introduced weights and measures (as well as dice); he also escorts the dead to Hades. He is the giver of good luck and has a hand in all secret dealings and stratagems. He is, of course, sacred to all heralds. He taught mortals all arts… also, his domain includes roads, traffic and markets. In ancient times, a bust of Hermes was placed atop pillars to mark boundaries.
