| <p> (1): </p> <p> (n.) See Mercury. </p> <p> (2): </p> <p> (n.) Originally, a boundary stone dedicated to [[Hermes]] as the god of boundaries, and therefore bearing in some cases a head, or head and shoulders, placed upon a quadrangular pillar whose height is that of the body belonging to the head, sometimes having feet or other parts of the body sculptured upon it. These figures, though often representing Hermes, were used for other divinities, and even, in later times, for portraits of human beings. Called also herma. See Terminal statue, under Terminal. </p>

| <p> 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. </p>
