Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods and the In-Betweener

Hermes is a god of the Olympian Pantheon, known as the messenger of the gods and the guide of souls. He represents communication, mediation, and social interaction. This role resonates with the interconnected web of mediation found in the modern internet. While Greeks associated Hermes with trickery and deception, his link to Egypt resulted in a fusion of Greek and Egyptian wisdom, giving rise to the idea of Hermes as an ancient sage associated with esoteric knowledge like astrology and alchemy.
