As portrayed in many texts of mythology, Hermes (named Mercury in Roman) is the messenger god of Olympus and the god of  "trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel." The Greeks believed that he was the son of Zeus and Maia, and he inherited their cleverness and cunning. Some of his most well known jobs include conductor of souls to the underworld's Styx river and official messenger of news to gods and humans. In addition, his most famous deeds are killing the multiple-eyed monster Argos, freeing Ares from
the twin Giants Otus and Ephialtes, and aiding Odysseus in his long journey home. The Greeks associated him with gambling, diplomacy, travelling.

In the Odyssey, Hermes convinces Calypso to release Odysseus from her island. Odysseus was held captive for seven years, so it is an incredible feat for Hermes to do this. Hermes also saves Odysseus when he gives him the magical herb Moly to protect Odysseus from Circe's spells. Herme's function is basic in the Odyssey.

Hermes's themes is often represented through his wand Caduceus which was gifted to him from the sun god Apollo. The wand has two snakes intertwined around it that represented peace and wings on the top as a symbol of Hermes swiftness. That wand today is now seen as a modern symbol of medicine and healing. Hermes also represents immaturity being a god who enjoys playing tricks and messes with the other gods but also a sign or protection and healing.
