Zeus was his father and Maia (daughter of Atlas) was his mother. He carries the Caduceus, a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. Hermes/Mercury is Zeus&#039; messenger, God of Commerce and Market, God of Thieves, and also the guide of the dead.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I know the Dime is really not depicting the god Mercury.
