Hermes and Plato

Hermes and Plato is a book written by Edouard Schure that explores the relationship between the ancient Greek god Hermes and the philosopher Plato. The book delves into the symbolism and mythology surrounding Hermes, who was known as the messenger of the gods and the patron of travelers, merchants, and thieves. Schure also examines Plato's philosophy and how it relates to Hermes' teachings, particularly in regards to the concept of the soul and the pursuit of knowledge. The book provides a comprehensive look at the intersection of Greek mythology and philosophy, and how the two have influenced each other throughout history.Translated by R. Rothwell.
