Her´mes, the Mercurius of the Romans, was the messenger of the gods, and was equally characterized by adroitness of action and readiness of speech. He was also the customary attendant of Jupiter when he appeared on earth. These circumstances explain why the inhabitants of Lystra (), as soon as ever they were disposed to believe that the gods had visited them in the likeness of men, discovered Hermes in Paul, as the chief speaker, and as the attendant of Jupiter.
