Historical Curiosities
Hermes is a god of Greek mythology, known in Rome as Mercury. For the ancient Greeks, the spirit of passage and crossing was embodied in Hermes: they believed that the god manifested himself in any type of exchange, transfer, overcoming, transit, from a place, or from a state, to the other.
This explains his being connected with the changes in man's fate and why he was one of the few to have permission to frequent the Realm of the Underworld.

To preserve the Statue of Hermes at Rest it is important to clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust without scratching the surface.
