Hermes Criophorus : ウィキペディア英語版
Hermes


Hermes (; ) is an Olympian god in Greek religion and mythology, the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia. He is the second youngest of the Olympian gods.
Hermes is considered a god of transitions and boundaries. He is described as quick and cunning, moving freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine. He is also portrayed as an emissary and messenger of the gods:〔Iris having a similar role as divine messenger.〕 an intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife. He has been viewed as the protector and patron of herdsmen, thieves,〔 oratory and wit, literature and poetry, athletics and sports, invention and trade,〔Walter Burkert, ''Greek Religion'' 1985 section III.2.8.〕 roads, boundaries and travellers.
In some myths, he is a trickster and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or for the sake of humankind. His attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster, the tortoise, purse or pouch, winged sandals, and winged cap. His main symbol is the Greek ''kerykeion'' or Latin ''caduceus'' which consisted of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff.〔The Latin word ''ラテン語:cādūceus'' is an adaptation of the Greek ', meaning "herald's wand (or staff)", deriving from ', meaning "messenger, herald, envoy". Liddell and Scott, ''Greek-English Lexicon''; Stuart L. Tyson, "The Caduceus", ''The Scientific Monthly'', 34.6, (1932:492–98) p. 493〕
In the Roman adaptation of the Greek pantheon (see ''interpretatio romana''), Hermes is identified with the Roman god Mercury,〔''Bullfinch's Mythology'', (1978), Crown Publishers, p. 926.〕 who, though inherited from the Etruscans, developed many similar characteristics, such as being the patron of commerce.
==Etymology==
The earliest form of the name ''Hermes'' is the Mycenaean Greek
*hermāhās, written ''e-ma-a2'' (''e-ma-ha'') in the Linear B syllabic script.〔Joann Gulizio (UDQ 292.11 ) University of texas. Retrieved 26 November 2011〕 Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek ἕρμα ''herma'',〔 "prop,〔.〕 heap of stones, boundary marker", from which the word ''hermai'' ("boundary markers dedicated to Hermes as a god of travelers") also derives.〔.〕 The etymology of ἕρμα itself is unknown (probably not an Indo-European word).〔 R. S. P. Beekes rejects the connection with ''herma'' and suggests a Pre-Greek origin.〔
Scholarly speculation that "Hermes" derives from a more primitive form meaning "one cairn" is disputed.〔Davies, Anna Morpurgo & Duhoux, Yves. ''Linear B: a 1984 survey''. Peeters Publishers, 1985, p. 136〕 In Greek a lucky find is a ''hermaion''.
It is also suggested that Hermes is cognate of the Vedic Sarama.〔Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, ed. Félix Guirand & Robert Graves, Hamlyn, 1968, p. 123〕
