Re: Hermes etymology & anthropomorphic maps

HERMES: isn't this teonym connected with the Hellenic «hermeias»,
wich is a mount made of stones with the goal of serving as an
orientation for travellers?

HERMES is, in the first place, a Deity of the Ways. That's why he is
also connected with the spirit, the voyage for the Other World, the
culture, the commerce, the thieves.
