Talaria
Talaria (, ) are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes (Roman equivalent Mercury). They were said to be made by the god Hephaestus of imperishable gold and they flew the god as swift as any bird. The name is from the Latin ''talaria'', neuter plural of ''talaris'', "of the ankle".

The talaria are mentioned in Homer, who describes them as ἀμβρόσια χρύσεια / ambrósia khrýseia, ("immortal/divine and of gold").〔Homer, Odyssey, V, 44.〕 However, he does not mention the wings. Those are first mentioned in the ''Shield of Heracles'', which speaks of / ''pteróenta pédila'', literally "winged sandals."〔Pseudo-Hesiod, ''Shield of Heracles'', 220.〕 Later authors repeat this characteristic, for instance in the Orphic Hymns XXVIII (to Hermes).〔I, 583 and II, 730.〕
In the story of Perseus, he wears them to help him slay Medusa.〔Gaius Julius Hyginus, ''Fables'' (LXIV) and Nonnus, ''Dionysiaca'', (XIV, 270).〕 According to Aeschylus, Hermes gives them to Perseus directly,〔Aeschylus, ''The Phorkides'', fr. 262 iv, v Radt.〕 In a better-attested version, Perseus must retrieve them from the Graeae, along with the cap of invisibility and the kibisis (sack).〔Pherecydes of Leros, 3F11 ''Fragmente der griechischen Historiker'', and the Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus), II, 4, 2.〕 However, Perseus sees poorly because Hermes does not have his own sandals, nor Hades his own helmet.〔Gantz, 542.〕
