Customer Reviews

A wonderful resource for those interested in Hermes5
While writing a paper for Hermes I came across this book at the library. Rather than the usual dry stuff I was using for my research, this book was the one that quickly became my favorite on the subject. It's engaging, interesting, and well-written, and describes the history and evolution of the god plus his primordial functions of psychopomp, guardian, and messenger. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy for myself!

Praise Hermes5
The style of this very short book is scholarly and verbose; however, some of the insigts are so deep and meaningful that there is almost an epiphany in every chapter. For anyone who has felt Hermes in their lives, if you want to get closer to the God, I recommend this book. It's has been one of my favorite purchases from Amazon recently.
