## Hermogenes:

I should like to know about Hermes.

## Socrates:

I should imagine that the name Hermes has to do with speech, and signifi  es that he is the interpreter, or messenger, or thief, or liar, or bargainer; all that sort of thing has a great deal to do with language.

(Platon, Kratylos)
