Hermen, Wegweiser der Antike
Hallo, da bin ich wieder mit einem neuen eigenartig spezifischen Blogeintrag.
Mal wieder habe ich einen meiner Podcasts zum Thema Antike gehört, diesmal „Ausgesprochen Alt. Der Antike Podcast“ mit der Folge #44 zum Thema Sklaverei im antiken Griechenland. Darum soll es heute aber, wie der Titel vielleicht schon verrät nicht gehen. Nein, es soll um einen Gegenstand gehen, der im Podcast kurz erwähnt wurde und durchaus interessant ist, da es heute soetwas gar nicht mehr gibt.
Die sogenannten Hermen (singl.: Herme, griechisch: Herma, Hermai, latein: mercuriae). Von diesen Objekten hatte ich zuvor noch gar nichts gehört, wobei das Wort mir von einer anderen vorherigen Recherche bekannt vorkam.
Wie ihr vielleicht von einem meiner vorherigen Einträge wisst, ist Hermes (römischer Name: Merkur) der Gott der Wege, Reisen, Übergänge, Diebe und noch sehr viel mehr. Also könnten wir daraus und dem Namen bereits schließen, dass eine Herme vielleicht etwas mit ihm zu tun hat und somit vielleicht auch etwas mit dem Reisen oder Wegen. Und genau das ist auch richtig, denn Hermen funktionieren wie Wegweiser im antiken Griechenland. Nur dass sie, wie so vieles in der Antike, auf eine besondere Art den Weg weisen. Dazu beschreibe ich erstmal wie eine gängige Herme aussieht. Stellt euch dazu einen Quader aus zum Beispiel Stein oder Terracotta vor, dieser hat dann oben einen Kopf und manchmal auch einen Oberkörper. Dies geht dann über in den Block aus dem Material. Da fragt ihr euch sicherlich nun: keine Arme? Keine Hände? Wie soll das Ding denn dann den Weg weisen. Jetzt kommt es ja noch: in der Mitte des Blocks, meist auch auf passender Höhe war ein Phallus angebracht, welcher die Richtung deutete.
Der Kopf war in den meisten Fällen ein Kopf des Gottes Hermes, wobei später auch andere Figuren sowie Politiker als Herme genutzt wurden.
Und diese Statuen waren überall aufgestellt. Badehäuser, Bibliotheken, Staatseinrichtungen und und und.
Etwas eigenartig ist das ja schon aus der heutigen Perspektive. Damals aber nicht. Nein. Es gab sogar einen riesigen Skandal um die Hermen, denn im Jahr 415 vor Christus verstümmelte jemand über Nacht systematisch alle Hermen Athens. Dies war mitten im Peloponnesischen Krieg zwischen Athen und Sparta und wurde von der großen Mehrheit als Drohung von Sympathisanten Spartas gedeutet. Sie beschuldigten den Schriftsteller Xenophon, welcher dies allerdings bestritt und auch anbot vor Gericht zu gehen. Die Athener beschuldigten ihn mehrerer religiöser Verleumdungen und er wurde zum Tod in Abwesenheit, da er fort auf einer Expedition war. Er starb allerdings erst lange später in Korinth. Alle Hermen der Stadt zu verstümmeln ist natürlich wirklich ein Skandal muss man schon zugeben. Zum einen handelt es sich um Bildnisse von respektierten Personen oder eben in vielen Fällen sogar dem Gott der Wege und Reisen selbst. Wenn ich es interpretieren sollte und es sich in diesem Fall wirklich um Sparta Sympathisanten handelt könnten sie damit unter anderem Ausdrücken, die Athener von ihrem Weg abzubringen, ihnen schlechten Willen für den Aufbruch in den Krieg schicken. Disrespekt gegenüber Athens Denkern und vielleicht sogar mangelndes Wohlwollen der Götter gegenüber ihren Vorhaben.
Immer wieder sehr spannend zusehen, wie anders alltägliche Dinge in verschiedenen Zeitaltern und an verschiedenen Orten sind. Oft denke ich, dass es schon sehr cool wäre, wenn man jemanden aus einer ganz anderen Zeit interviewen könnte oder gegenseitig durch die Zeit reisen könnte und sich alles zeigen und erklären könnte, doch das wird wohl nicht möglich sein.
Das war dann mal eine kleine Geschichtsstunde to-go mit einem sehr speziellen Thema. Ich hoffe es war trotzdem interessant für ein paar unter euch oder ich habe mich mal wieder viel zu sehr reingelesen in ein Thema.
Ich gucke mal ob ich ein gutes Bild einer Herme zum rebloggen finde damit ihr euch einen Eindruck verschaffen könnt auch wenn ganz selten das Glied noch vorhanden ist.
Edit: Leider kein Reblog aber dann füge ich hier ein Bild einer Herme ein.

doing the hermit may prompt list but like. its not may
so i only heard about hermay after may had come and gone but i wanted to do it anyway so here i am :P this is all ive been fixated on drawing as of late, but the good part about doing it after the actual month i was supposed to is that i can do it at my own pace!
here's my self-inflicted rules and consistencies:
i'm using randomly generated color palettes for these drawings and trying to do something different stylistically for each one
i can skip days (and come back to them if i want) , thats why theres no xb in this set since i dont really watch him and havent drawn him before :P
the 'favorite' prompts arent necessarily my top favorites, more just ones that i wanted to draw!
i realized that i can only post a handful of photos to tumblr at a time so i'll be posting these in sets (hopefully i finish them before i lose interest)
im also not doing them daily.. lmao
the full images for these first 10 are under the cut!

in my head i have a dedicated fancast for the men of the symposium and these two are my quintessential alcibiades and socrates…. i desperately need a see an age gap romance film where paul giamatti is continually unfaithful to his beautiful malewife callum turner…. claire denis get on it bitch!!
#paul giamatti is EXACTLY what i imagine socrates to look like its so uncanny#their auras are similar as well#and callum would slay at destroying the hermai and betraying athena and then sparta and then athens#symposium is lowkey already very fun by far the best dialogue#yes i have a fancast for every single one of socrates’ entourage why do you ask#yes dominic sessa would be agathon why do you ask???????#this tweet for a very select audience. many will not see the truth and vision i am preaching. only the brave will comprehend.#the symposium#alcibiades

My favorite May headcanon is that she was a sex worker and Hermes was her sugar daddy before he was her baby daddy.

Birth- Hermes was born from his mother Maia, the goddess of the fields, and his Father Zeus, he hid in a cave with his mother in Mt. Cyllene in Arcadia, the same day he was born (or when he was a toddler), he ran away while his mother was out, he stole cattle and turned their feet backwards, to 'trick' Apollo, he went back to the cave and made a fire and sacrificed 2 cows to catch the gods attention and ate 1 and hid the rest, outside after he ate he saw a tortoise feeding and cleaned it out and made strings together from a cow he ate, and made a lyre and a plectrum, and Apollo found him, furious he took him to his father and he denied everything and zeus found it hilarious, and he had to head back to the place where he hid the cattle, on the way he played the lyre, Apollo was enamored by it and asked for it and in return he would be his best friend and forgive him, and while helping Apollo tend to the cattle he made pan pipes, which Apollo made him a deal for his iconic golden snake staff and the skill of phropecy by using pebbles.
Killing Argos- Zeus had a lover Io, Who he was laying with in a field, Hera saw and strolled over, he struck in panic turned her into a cow, and Hera came over and demanded it as a gift, and zeus obliged, zeus in a panic asked Hermes to slay it, Hermes went to the cane where the all-seeing giant was, he lured him to sleep with a song, and when he was asleep, he slashed all his eyes and killed him, and took the cow, and in grief Hera turned the giant into a peacock to save the memory and to honor the giant. that's the myth where he gained the title 'Argos slayer'
Prayers•
Safe travels
Swift-footed Hermes, friend of the traveler, friend of those who find themselves far from their homes, by will or by chance, I pray to you. Hermes, who moves between the realms with authority and ease, who leads men and women on their last, longest journey, who stands at the crossroad, who watches the byways, in you I place my trust, for by your might I know that when I stumble I will rise again, that when I choose my way I will choose aright. Hermes, as I make my way through the world, whether I wander or whether I walk my path with care, be with me.
In general
Hermes of the ready wit and the lightning smile, wing-footed one who carries the words of the gods, compassionate one who guides the newly-dead to the hall of Hades and fair Persephone, quick-thinking one who takes interest in the world and works of mankind, whose hand we see in a run of luck and a clever scheme, I call to you. Hermes, bearer of the herald’s staff, your gifts are great. You guard our homes with constancy and care, you grant to us a portion of your own craft and wile, you join with us when we revel and are merry, you stand with us when we are far from home, alone. You are ever with us, O Hermes; O god who holds in hand the good of men, I honor you.
hestia & hermes for good money
I call to Hermes, god of the marketplace, god of the the deal, from whose hands fall shining coins. I call to Hestia, goddess of the home, goddess of good management, who knows the ways of thrift. Grant me a keen eye to spot a bargain, I pray; grant that I know false economy from true. Grant me the craft to repair what is broken, grant me the sufficiency to save for what may come. Grant me the wisdom to live with care, O gods, the discipline and skill to live within my means; grant me the wit to know my needs and my desires, grant me the judgment to know the difference.
This info is some UPG and some traditional, I do not find UPG disrespectful at all and some of it is my own experience, and I am not debating about it. My info is still valid, and I'm sure my sources is, just wanted to clarify this! Much love! I did get some info from other Tumblr users, I made this way back, I still update it, I dont own any of this information.

hermay #1 and #2
i dont know if im gonna do these little fullbodies for everyone Probably not i just wanted to figure out what xs deal was because ivenever drawn him before ever. i gave him a cool hat and a big swooshy coat to add to his Mysterious nature. He is not of course but i think he'd like to pretend he is. I wanted to dress him how I think a dude who got the Bedwars Neuralink chip would dress if he thought he was the protagonist of like blade runner or fucking whatever. Beef I have no comments about that will not have me investigated on a federal level, except the burn scar is meant to be a nod to the hc7 episode where his muscular system escapes his body and starts writhing in agony.

So, I’m not sure I’ll explain myself well, but I when I go buy stuff for my altar, I tend to buy some stuff that doesn’t have any sort of relation with the deity, for example, my hades altar has lots of mushroom things, my Hermes altar has little random statues, etc. I kinda feel bad for having that stuff there
Khaire Anon,
I want to start off by saying I think you explained yourself very well!
As to your altar items - just because an item or object might not have historically been associated with a deity does not mean that you cannot use said item/object. You can (and should) develop personal associations in relation to your Gods.
Also, when I read your ask, I immediately thought that both of the items mentioned actually fit with their respective deities very well.
Mushrooms are associated with death, decay, and the breaking down of matter. With Lord Hades being King of the Underworld - I think the mushrooms are very fitting.
In regards to Lord Hermes, he is actually associated with statues and sculptures in a much more personal way then most of the other deities in the pantheon. You may or may not be aware of Hermai but I would encourage you to research them and their history. In either case, I think random statues make perfect sense for his altar!
A lot of Hellenic Polytheists focus on being strictly reconstructionist when it comes to their religious practices (meaning they try to be as accurate to historical practices as possible).
On the other hand, I and many other Hellenic Polytheists focus on being Revivalists - meaning we try to be accurate to the historical records but also allow for more individuality and wiggle room within personal practice.
(I don't know much about the author - but I did find this wordpress article that describes the difference pretty well)
I hope you found my answer helpful, please don't hesitate to reach out in the future if you have more inquiries :)
Eirene - peace and farewell,
- Aön
