The messenger of the Gods, and the patron of many different sorts of things, ranging from thieves to commerce as a whole, Hermes is one of the most cunning of the Theoi. He is not-quite a Trickster figure, not playing tricks on others to show them the error of their ways, or to receive his own comeuppance on a later date. But, instead he is just a thief, stealing the cattle of Apollo on the first day he was born, and then managing to talk his way out of all punishment.

He often visits Heroes, arriving to Odysseus to advise him of how to deal with Circe, and giving his winged sandals to Perseus to allow him to travel across the world quickly in order to reach his quarry, Medusa.
