Hermes was the revered Olympian god of herds and flocks, renowned for his guidance of travelers and his gracious hospitality to strangers. He was also celebrated as the guardian of roads and trade routes, skillfully navigating the complex world of commerce and negotiation. Hermes' cunning nature made him a master thief, but he also used his intelligence and wit to outmaneuver his adversaries in diplomacy and language. As the official herald and messenger of Zeus, King of the Gods, Hermes was entrusted with delivering crucial messages between the gods and mortals. In his role as guide of the dead, he led souls safely down into the underworld, ensuring their peaceful passage into the afterlife.
