Name origin
Hermes Trismegistus (Ancient Greek "the thrice-greatest Hermes", "the great-great", "the greatest-great") is the purported author of the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism. The name given by the Greeks to the Egyptian god Thoth or Tehuti, the god of wisdom, learning, and literature. To some extent identified with the Grecian Hermes: various mystical, religious, philosophical, astrological, and alchemical writings were ascribed to him. Both Thoth and Hermes were gods of writing and of magic in their respective cultures. Thus, the Greek god of interpretive communication was combined with the Egyptian god of wisdom as a patron of astrology and alchemy. In addition, both gods were psychopomps, guiding souls to the afterlife.
