He was the god of trade, wealth, language, and travel, also serving as a herald and messenger to the other greek gods. Perhaps his most notable role was as a “leader of souls to the river Styx in the underworld, where the boatman Charon would take them to Hades.” (Cartwright) Hermes was credited by the Greeks to have invented fire, dice, musical instruments, and the alphabet. Famous for his diplomatic skills, he was also regarded by travellers as a patron of eloquence and language. vdoanvo100 https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313116629 2018-12-10 19:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313116629 Hermes was the messenger of the gods and a herald. He helped guide dead souls to Hades, the god of the dead, who lived in the underworld. Hermes helped Odysseus twice during the Odyssey. The first time he helped, he gave Odysseus a powerful Moly herb which would help shield him from Circe’s evil witchcraft. The second time, he saved Odysseus by convincing Calypso, the nymph goddess to free him off her island after holding him captive for seven years. Hermes was portrayed as “author of skilled or deceptive acts, and also as a benefactor of mortals” (greekgodsandgoddeses.net) by Homer and Hesiod. vdoanvo100 https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313117055

He also represented travel, being the conductor to the underworld of the dead. He got his association with thieves by notoriously stealing other’s possessions throughout his life. Specifically, he stole his half-brother, Apollo’s, herd of cattle, Poseidon’s trident, Artemis’ arrows, and Aphrodite’s girdle. vdoanvo100 https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313117624 2018-12-10 19:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313117624 Works Cited: vdoanvo100 https://padlet.com/vdoanvo100/wbu5s8nshuub/wish/313118048 Cartwright, Mark.
