Hermés, syn Dia a Maii, je v recké mytologii mimo jiné poslem bohu. V rímské mytologii byl ztotožnován s bohem Merkurem, neboli s archandelem Rafaelem. Ze spojení s egyptským bohem Anupem vznikla v antickém synkretismu postava Hermanubis. V egyptské mytologii je pak predevším ztotožnován s bohem Thovtem, který pozdeji dostal (recké) oznacení Hermes Trismegistos. Toto delení však není jednoznacné, v dusledku ruzných výkladu dochází casto k prekrývání jednotlivých božstev a k používání ruzných jmen pro každého z nich.
Syn Dia a Maii se narodil na hore Kylléné v Arkádii. Je ochráncem cest a poutníku, ale i zlodejícku, bohem obchodu, lsti a podvodu a v neposlední rade poslem bohu. Nikdo jej nemuže predcit v chytrosti, bystrosti a dokonce ani v krádeži.
Jakmile se Hermés narodil, ihned si vymyslel svuj první podarený kousek. Tiše se vykradl z plenek, aby jeho matka nic nepoznala, a vydal se do Pierie, kde tou dobou pásl Apollón stádo krav. Ukradl rychle z Apollónova stáda 15 krav a na nohy jim privázal rákos a vetve, aby za sebou zametl stopy. Když již pozde k veceru hnal stádo pres Boiótii, potkal starce, který pracoval na své vinici. Slíbil mu jednu z krav, když nikomu nerekne, že tudy stádo hnal. Starec horlive souhlasil a slíbil, že bude mlcet. Hermés šel tedy dále, když vtom ho napadlo, že by mohl starce vyzkoušet. Zmenil svou podobu, vrátil se k nemu a vyptával se na stádo krav. Nabízel mu býka a krávu, pokud starec poví vše, co ví. Starec se dlouho rozmýšlel, ale nakonec zvítezila chamtivost nad cestností (jak už tomu ostatne bývá) a starec vše vyzradil. Hermés se na starce strašne rozhneval, že porušil slib, a promenil ho v nemou skálu, aby již naveky mlcel.
Pak konecne prihnal krávy až do Pýlu. Zde obetoval dve krávy bohum a zbytek zavedl pozpátku do jeskyne, aby stopy nevedly dovnitr, ale ven. Pak se vrátil do své kolébky a zabalil se do plenek. V té dobe již Apollón hledal své krávy. Veštecký pták ho zavedl až do Pýlu, ale do jeskyne se Apollón nepodíval, vždyt stopy vedly ven. Konecne prišel až k jeskyni, kde Hermés ležel ve své kolíbce, a ihned ho zacal kárat za krádež krav a požadoval jejich vrácení. Hrozil, dumyslne vyslýchal, ale proti Hermove chytrosti nezmohl nic. Nakonec Herma donutil, aby s ním šel pred samotného Dia, který mel jejich spor rozrešit. Zeus Hermovi narídil, aby ukradené krávy vrátil, a proti rozsudku Dia nic nezmohl ani Hermés. Vrátil se tedy s Apollónem nejdríve do své jeskyne, odkud si vzal z pod polštáre svou lyru, kterou si pred nedávnem vyrobil z želvího krunýre a trí vetévek, a posléze zavedl Apollóna k oné jeskyni, kde byly krávy ukryty. Zatímco je Apollón vyvádel, Hermés zacal hrát na svou lyru tak krásne, že tím zaujal i Apollóna. Apollón se s ním nakonec dohodl, že mu nechá krávy, když mu na oplátku dá svou lyru. Hermés souhlasil, a aby se zabavil, až bude pást krávy, vyrobil si pastýrskou píštalu. Apollón s ním opet udelal obchod a za píštalu mu dal svou zlatou pastýrskou hul, s níž nahánel stádo, a navrch ho poslal za svými chuvami Thriemi, které ho naucily veštit z oblázku. Hermés se pak stal bohem všech pasáku krav a ovcí.
Zeus, když se o všem dozvedel, poznal, že jeho syn je velmi bystrý,

Hermes, son of Zeus and Maia, in Greek mythology, among other things, the messenger of the gods. In Roman mythology, he identified with the god Mercury, or the Archangel Raphael. Of having links with the Egyptian god Anup originated in ancient syncretism figure Hermanubis. In Egyptian mythology, then mostly identified with the god Thoth, who later got the (Greek) designation Hermes Trismegistus. This division is not clear, due to different interpretations there is often overlap between the gods and the use of different names for each of them.
Son of Zeus and Maia was born on Mount Kylléné in Arcadia. It is the protector of roads and pilgrims, but also thieves, the god of commerce, deceit and fraud, and, not least, the messenger of the gods. No one can surpass him in cleverness, shrewdness and even the theft.
Once Hermes was born, immediately he came up with his first master-piece. Quietly sneaked out of diapers, his mother did not recognize anything, and went to Pieria, where Apollo at that time herding cows. Quickly stole from Apollo's herd of 15 cows and their feet tied reeds and branches that swept behind traces. When it is too late in the evening herd rushed over Boeotia, he met an old man who worked in his vineyard. She promised him one of the cows, if anyone tells you that the way the herd rushed. The old man eagerly agreed and promised to keep quiet. Hermes then went further, when suddenly it occurred to him that he might try the old man. He changed its appearance, came to him and asked for a herd of cows. He offered a bull and a cow, if the old man tells everything he knows. The old man thought for a long time, but finally prevailed over greed honesty (as indeed it already is) old and everything leaked. Hermes is the old man terribly angry that he broke a promise, and transformed him into a silent rock that has forever silent.
Then finally he rushed cows to pollen. There are two cows sacrificed to the gods and the remainder introduced backwards into the cave, so that footprints have not inside, but outside. Then he returned to his cradle and wrapped in diapers. At that time, Apollo was looking for his cows. Oracular bird led him to pollen, but the cave Apollo looked, for trail led out. Finally, he came to the cave where Hermes was lying in his crib, and immediately began to rebuke him for stealing cows and demanded their return. Threatened cleverly questioned, but against Hermes craftiness could do nothing. Herma finally forced to go with him before Zeus himself, who had the resolve their dispute. Zeus ordered Hermes to return the stolen cows, and against the judgment of Zeus could do nothing or Hermes. He returned to the first Apollo to his cave, where he took the pillow from under his lyre, which he recently made of tortoiseshell and three twigs, and eventually led to the Apollo of that cave where cows were hidden. While being led out, Apollo, Hermes began to play his lyre so beautifully that it took even Apollo. Apollo him eventually agreed to let his cows when he can return to his lyre. Hermes agreed, and to entertain until the cows graze, made a shepherd's whistle. Apollo him again and made a deal for the whistle gave him his golden shepherd's crook with whom herding the flock, and sent him the upper hand over their nannies Thriemi that he learned divine from pebbles. Hermes then became the god of cows and sheep herders.
Zeus when he learned about everything, he knew that his son is very bright, and thus made him a messenger of the gods, protector and god of trade routes. He then gave as a gift a crutch caduceus- with white ribbons as a symbol of a messenger, he had every respect, as well as a round hat petasos rain and a winged golden sandals that he wore wind speeds.
Hermes invented fisticuffs, astronomy, tonal scale, and many other things. She worships him a pilgrim and a speaker, and the buyer athlete and even thieves.
