The main character in the Corpus Hermeticum is Hermes Trismegistus. In ancient Greek religion, Hermes was the messenger of the gods, the patron saint of borders, and of those who had to cross boundaries, such as travelers and shepherds.
Hermes was associated with human activities that require alert intelligence, whether directed toward good or evil ends. Therefore, Hermes was also the patron of orators, poets, men of letters, inventors, and athletes, but also of thieves and liars.
