One of the cleverest and most mischievous of the Olympian gods. He was the patron of shepherds, invented the lyre, and was, above all, the herald and messenger of Mt. Olympus .\u00a0 AND he came to symbolise the crossing of boundaries in his role as a guide between the two realms of gods and humanity. To the Romans, the god was known as Mercury.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>HERMES-MERCURY AND THE GODS<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As messenger and herald, particularly for Zeus, Hermes is involved in many mythological episodes. Perhaps most celebrated was his killing of the many-eyed (some accounts say 100-eyed) monster Argos\u00a0on the orders of Zeus in order to free Io. Hermes also freed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/Ares\/\">Ares<\/a>\u00a0from his year-long imprisonment in a cauldron by the twin Giants Otus and Ephialtes. One of his most famous regular roles was as a leader of souls to the river Styx in the underworld, where the boatman Charon would take them to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greekart-souvenirs.gr\/en\/product\/god-hades\/\">Hades<\/a>. Hermes was also known as something of a trickster, stealing at one time or another Poseidon&#8217;s trident, Artemis&#8217; arrows, and Aphrodite&#8217;s girdle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hermes-Mercury &amp; the Heroes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hermes figures in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greekart-souvenirs.gr\/en\/product\/trojan-horse\/\">Trojan War<\/a>\u00a0as told by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/homer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homer<\/a>\u00a0in the\u00a0<em>Iliad<\/em>.\u00a0 Although in one lengthy passage he acts as counsellor and guide to the Trojan King Priam in his attempt to reclaim the body of his fallen son Hector.\u00a0 Hermes actually supports the Achaeans in the Trojan War. The god is most often described by Homer as &#8216;Hermes the guide, slayer of Argos&#8217; and &#8216;Hermes the kindly&#8217;. Hermes gives particular help to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greekart-souvenirs.gr\/en\/product\/odysseas\/\">Odysseus<\/a>, especially on his long return voyage to Ithaca (as told in Homer&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Odyssey<\/em>).\u00a0 For example, giving him an antidote to the spells of Circe. Another hero helped by the god was Perseus. Hermes is giving him an unbreakable sword or sickle (<em>harpe<\/em>) of adamantine .\u00a0 And guiding him to the three Graeae who would reveal the location of Medusa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><em>STATUE OF GOD HERMES WITH DIONYSUS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6134,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[290,291,292],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10249","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-agalmata-en","7":"product_cat-agalmata-alavastro-en","8":"product_cat-agalmata-alavastro-leuka-en","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hermes-Mercury - Greek Art Souvenirs Vamvoukakis<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hermes-Mercury was the ancient Greek\u00a0god of\u00a0trade, wealth, luck, fertility,\u00a0animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel.
