William Shakespeare

Who is Hermes?

Who is Hermes, you ask? He is a messenger of the gods, a bringer of good fortune, a trickster of sorts. He flies across the sky with wings on his feet, spreading joy and laughter wherever he goes. He is a joker, a prankster, a mischievous one. He is the god of speed, of commerce, of travel and of thievery. He is the patron of merchants, athletes, and thieves. He is the god of boundaries and transitions, of beginnings and endings. He is the god of dreams and of sleep. He is the god of luck and of fortune. He is the god of language and communication. He is the god of the underworld, the god of death and the afterlife. He is the god of music, of song and of dance. He is the god of writing and of knowledge. He is the god of the sun and of the moon. He is the god of the sea and of the sky. He is the god of time, of the present, of the past and of the future. He is the god of fertility, of agriculture and of abundance. He is the god of the arts, of creativity and of inspiration. He is the god of love, of friendship and of compassion. He is the god of joy, of laughter and of pleasure. He is the god of the impossible and of the improbable, the god of the mysterious and of the unknown. He is the god of wisdom and of understanding. He is a god of many faces, a god of many guises, a god of many tales. He is Hermes, the god of the gods.
