Publication: 1947 Uniersity of Wisconsin Press first edition 

Brown offers a deep, psychoanalytic exploration of the Greek god Hermes, tracing how this multifaceted deity evolved through mythology, religion, and culture. Brown interprets Hermes as a symbol of transition, trickery, communication, and boundary-crossing, emphasizing his role as a mediator between worlds—the divine and the human, life and death.
