Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep analysis of the concept of Hermes as a psychopomp, a guide to the dead. The author examines the historical development of this role, tracing its roots in ancient Greek religion and mythology. He argues that Hermes' association with the dead is a result of his role as a boundary god, presiding over the transition between the world of the living and the world of the dead. The book explores the various ways in which Hermes interacted with the dead, from his role as a messenger of the gods to his function as a guide for souls on their journey to the afterlife. The author also examines the iconography of Hermes as a psychopomp, and analyzes the ways in which this imagery has been used to represent the god's role in the underworld. The book concludes by discussing the significance of Hermes' role as a psychopomp for our understanding of ancient Greek religion and mythology.
