What was Hermes the God of? - Greek Mythology

So what was Hermes God of again? Turns out he was the ancient Greek God of many, many things. In this video we take a look at why he is considered the God of herds, trickery, lies, feasts, thieves, messengers, heralds, language, athletics, travel, roads, fertility, craftsmen, fortune, luck and more besides. Turns out that Hermes is far older than most Greek myths would have you believe, and he is worshipped for many different things. We take a look at the myths of Hermes, from his birth, stealing cattle from his brother Apollo, his helping out of Zeus in stealing Io from Hera (and slaying a 100 eyed giant), the role he played in the myth of Pandora's box, etc. Hermes really is a fascinating character and far, far more than a simple messenger or rubbish delivery service for the Greek Gods.

Next week we'll be looking at what psychopomps like Hermes are in various mythologies. Last week we looked at Alcibiades, who may well be the most interesting man in history.
