| <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>
