Angelo (1997) thinks Hermes to be based on the Thoth archetype. Frothingham thought the god to have existed as a Mesopotamian snake-god, similar or identical to Ningishzida, a god who served as mediator between humans and the divine, especially Ishtar, and who was depicted in art as a Caduceus. It is likely that Hermes is a pre-Hellenic god, though the exact origins of his worship, and its original nature, remain unclear. Other scholars have suggested that Hermes may be a cognate of the Vedic Sarama. Scholarly speculation that "Hermes" derives from a more primitive form meaning "one cairn" is disputed. However, the stone etymology is also linked to Indo-European *ser- ("to bind, put together"). Beekes rejects the connection with herma and suggests a Pre-Greek origin. The etymology of ἕρμα itself is unknown, but is probably not a Proto-Indo-European word. Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek ἕρμα ( herma), "stone heap." The earliest form of the name Hermes is the Mycenaean Greek * hermāhās, written □□□ e-ma-a 2 ( e-ma-ha) in the Linear B syllabic script. In Roman mythology and religion many of Hermes' characteristics belong to Mercury, a name derived from the Latin merx, meaning "merchandise," and the origin of the words " merchant" and "com merce." However, his main symbol is the caduceus, a winged staff intertwined with two snakes copulating and carvings of the other gods. Hermes' attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster, the tortoise, satchel or pouch, talaria (winged sandals), and winged helmet or simple petasos, as well as the palm tree, goat, the number four, several kinds of fish, and incense. He is regarded as "the divine trickster", about which the Homeric Hymn to Hermes offers the most well-known account. In myth, Hermes functions as the emissary and messenger of the gods, and is often presented as the son of Zeus and Maia, the Pleiad. Hermes plays the role of the psychopomp or "soul guide"-a conductor of souls into the afterlife. He is able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine aided by his winged sandals. He is also considered the protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators.

To pick up this tale you will have to locate Salty, the skeletal parrot from the Cursed Sails expansion. As if I could refuse my George after all of that! Too bad he forgot to look where he was walking! He turned and said “Rose will you marry aaargh!” He fell into a tree and got stuck upside-down swinging all day! Until we chopped it down anyway. Where to take me and how to stand and what to say. My sides still hurt! George had been thinking (too much) about how to propose to me. Today has been one of the best day of my life and one of the funniest too.
