Mercury was the son of Jupiter, the main god in ancient Roman mythology, and was equivalent to Hermes in ancient Greek mythology. Mercury was responsible for transmitting information to the gods. His image is generally wearing a hat with wings on his head, flying shoes on his feet, a magic wand in his hand, and walking like flying. We often see him in life. He will bring good luck to people.
Mercury was sharp and cunning. He once stole 50 cattle of Apollo, the sun god. Apollo came to claim for compensation. Mercury promised to return the cattle, but when Apollo led the cattle, he played beautiful music with the harp he invented. Apollo was so intoxicated that he agreed to exchange the cattle for Mercury’s harp and gave his magic wand to him. So Mercury became the patron saint of thieves, liars and merchants.
