Hermes

View of a statue of Hermes—almost life–size.  Hermes later morphs into the Roman deity Mercury.  Note the wings on his sandals and the sacrificial ram on the left side of Hermes—and his distinctive hat.

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; 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, roads, boundaries and travelers. (Wikipedia)
