Hermes (pronounced /ˈhɜrmiːz/; Greek Ἑρμῆς) is the Messenger of the gods in Greek mythology as well as a guide to the Underworld. An Olympian god, he is also the patron of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them, of shepherds and cowherds, of thieves and road travelers, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of weights and measures, of invention, of general commerce, and of the cunning of thieves and liars.[1] His symbols include the tortoise, the cock, the winged sandals, and the caduceus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes Oct 17 09, 4:40 AM

It should be noted that Hermes (aka Mercury in Rome) was a corporate messenger for the Greek (or Roman as appropriate) pantheon. Individual gods/goddesses may very well have their own personal staffs. Hermes did not have an exclusive franchise, though. Iris also ran a messenger service (using the rainbow rather than winged helmet and sandals. Like Hermes, she had a wider portfolio, which included topping up the clouds with rain.
