Hermes Trismegistos

Japanese: ヘルメス・トリスメギストス(英語表記)Hermēs Trismegistos
Hermes Trismegistos
A Greek god's name meaning "Three-fold (i.e., very) great Hermes." He was a god of the syncretic religions common in the Hellenistic period, born from the syncretism of the Greek Hermes and the ancient Egyptian Thoth in the Hellenistic environment of Egypt. His original name was Hermes Thoth, but this was his common name. Poimandrēs is another name for him, and Mercurius is his Latin name. Like Hermes and Thoth, this god is in charge of the arts and sciences.

Japanese:
ギリシア語の神名で,〈3倍(すなわち,はなはだ)偉大なヘルメス〉の意。ヘレニズム時代によくある混交宗教型の神で,ギリシア神話のヘルメスとエジプト古来のトートとが,エジプトのヘレニズム的環境の中で習合し生まれた。したがって本来の名はヘルメス・トートというが,その通称としてこう呼ばれた。またポイマンドレスPoimandrēsはその別称,メルクリウスMercuriusはラテン名である。ヘルメス,トートと同様にこの神も学芸をつかさどる。
