Thanks, Don.
A couple of sites I located attributed Hermes deity duties and privileges as numerous. I will list a few.
God of -- Heralds.
" " -- feasts and banquets.
" " -- language and crafty wiles.
" " -- provincial music, poetry and animal fables.
" " -- sleep and dreams of omen.
I have also read, God of travelers, commerce, science and invention, eloquence, luck, cunning and theft, guide of the deceased to hades.
When the Romans invaded Germanic teritory the local deitys tended to meld with the Roman deitys.
Who knows.
