messenger god
Olympian postal worker
A messenger god is a deity whose role includes carrying communications between gods and mortals, or among the gods themselves.
Hermes in Greek mythology and Mercury in Roman tradition are the archetypal examples—swift, cunning figures who move freely between realms.
The term sometimes extends to similar figures in other mythologies: Iris served as a messenger god for Hera.
