Hermes, son of Zeus and Maia, is the God of travelers, messengers, thieves, cunning, stealth, trickery, merchants, socializing, transitions, gymnasts, orators, interpreters, boundaries and boundary crossing, flocks, shepherds, herds, animal husbandry, language, astrology, astronomy, sleep, prophetic dreams, birds of omen, hospitality, rustic divination, rustic music and poetry, guard dogs, learning, eloquence, liminal spaces, and memory.
Aside from his copious spheres of influence, Hermes is also known for his role as the herald of the Gods (Zeus, in particular), and for guiding the souls of the dead to Kharon’s ferry in the underworld. It is said that he invented writing, calendars, sacrifices, fire, dice, music, and many other things.
While the story of his birth isn’t my favorite myth about him, I believe it makes for an excellent starting point when getting to know him.
According to myth, Hermes embarked on his first adventure mere hours after Maia birthed him on Mt. Cyllene. Eager to make a name for himself among his celestial family, he abducted Apollo’s precious cattle and, in killing and cooking two of them, invented sacrifice as well as fire. On his way back to his mother, Hermes also became the inventor of music when he used the shell of a tortoise to fashion the first lyre.
After Apollo became privy to his newborn brother’s treachery, he brought him to Zeus for judgement in spite of Maia’s protesting. Hermes, employing his innate cunning, did his best to lie his way out of punishment. Zeus was not fooled, but was greatly amused by his son’s antics, and a compromise was made. Hermes would not be harmed, but he would have to guide Apollo to where his remaining cattle were hidden.
When the two sons of Zeus reached their destination, Hermes began to play the lyre he’d crafted. Apollo was smitten with the sound, and traded his cattle for the instrument. After that, Hermes and Apollo forged an unbreakable bond, and the former was gifted a golden wand, knowledge of astrogalomancy, and a referral to the Thriae of Mount Parnassus by the latter. Thus, Hermes’s story was only just beginning.
30 Days of Deity Devotion was a blog challenge originally created by Arrin Deuognatos. Recently, it was reposted by @honorthegods, who I gladly snatched it from.
Sources/further reading for those interested: theoi.com, wikipedia.com, ancient.eu, and a few PDFs that I’ll gladly send anyone who asks for them.

I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist
