It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday! 🐏
"Now when the dead have come to the place where each is led by his daimon i.e. [#Hermes], first they are judged and sentenced, as they have lived well and piously, or not. And those who are found to have lived neither well nor ill, go to the Acheron." #Plato, Phaedros 112e
🏛 Hermes guides the soul of a dead woman to #Charon, attic lecythus, dated 450 BCE
@AimeeMaroux@mythology@antiquidons I don’t think I’ve ever seen an equating of Hermes and The Daimon, which I always took to be an individual thing. Is this a common thing?
