Hermes Greek Deity Socks
Description: The Theoi are undeniably the most recognizable pantheon in the western world, and their influence spans the globe. Worshiped by the great civilizations of both Greece and Rome before becoming staples of artistic and philosophical study throughout human history, they have a healthy self-image as the most important and revered of all Gods. Of course, other civilizations disagree, but the Theoi aren’t likely to listen to anyone’s vision but their own. This is in their honor.
Description: Hermes is a god of transitions and boundaries. He is quick and cunning, and moves freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine, as emissary and messenger of the gods, intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife. He is protector and patron of travelers, herdsmen, thieves, orators and wit, literature and poets, athletics and sports, invention and trade. In some myths he is a trickster, and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or the sake of humankind. Hermes is identified with the Roman god, Mercury. The image used here is pulled from a 19th century illustration and edited (Manual of Mythology, by Alexander S. Murray; Revised Edition, Philadelphia: David McKay, Publisher, 1895).
Description: Mercury, corresponding to Hermes in Greek mythology, was the son of Jupiter and Bona Dea. He was the god of travelers, thieves, commerce and medicine, as well as the personification of intelligence and speed. The god Mercury was in charge of carrying messages from one god to another. He was responsible for strokes of luck and sudden changes in life, but he was also the patron of thieves, rogues and cheats. As soon as he was born, he ran away from the cradle and stole 50 heifers from his brother Apollo.
