Hermes is the messenger of the Gods. His special sandals enable to move at fly super speed. According to Hercules, he is a good friend with Aphrodite. He is known as a notorious trickster.



While he was sleeping in Hera's Temple, Mavorb snuck in and stole Hermes' sandals (YH: "Herc's Nemesis").

Before going to see some mud wrestling, Hermes delivered a message from Artemis to Hercules and Iolaus that her bow had been stolen. Autolycus was responsible, but Discord later bought it and used it to turn Hercules into a pig temporally. After losing track of Hercules, Iolaus realized that Hermes' Sandals would make it easier to search for him. At the mud wrestling ring, Autolycus and a disguised Iolaus managed to steal the sandals right out from under Hermes by conning him with a supposed skin-care product (HTLJ: "Porkules").

Later, Iolaus and Autolycus returned the sandals to Hermes. The messenger of the Gods was reportedly very unhappy about the whole thing, which Autolycus found unreasonable (HTLJ: "One Fowl Day").

Xena once used the Helmet of Hermes to give Gabrielle the gift of flight for her birthday (XWP: "Many Happy Returns")
