Hermes was often depicted as being either a handsome, athletic youth or as an older bearded man. He usually was seen wearing winged boots, and sometimes also had a winged traveler’s cap and a chlamys cloak. He also carried a herald’s wand and was the personal herald of Zeus. As one of the twelve Olympians, he is seen frequently throughout Greek mythology. The Roman god equivalent of Hermes is Mercury.
