Source passages

β€œIn association with his role as a psychopomp and god who is able to cross boundaries easily, Hermes is predominantly worshipped as a messenger, and often described as the messenger of the gods (since he can convey messages between the divine realms, the underworld, and the world of mortals). As a messenger and divine herald, he wears winged sandals (or, in Roman art influenced by Etruscan depictions of Turms, a winged cap).”

β€œHis cult was introduced also by influence of Etruscan religion in which Turms had similar characteristics. From the beginning, Mercury had essentially the same aspects as Hermes, wearing winged shoes (talaria) and a winged hat (petasos), and carrying the caduceus, a herald's staff with two entwined snakes that was Apollo's gift to Hermes.”

β€œIn Etruscan religion, Turms (usually written as πŒ•πŒ–πŒ“πŒŒπŒ‘ TurmΕ› in the Etruscan alphabet) was the equivalent of Roman Mercury and Greek Hermes, both gods of trade and the messenger god between people and gods. He is portrayed as a messenger of the gods, particularly Tinia (Jupiter)”

β€œElcsntre (Paris or Alexander = Elcsntre), as guided by Turms (Hermes), must choose who is β€˜the fairest’ between Menrva, Uni, and Turan (Aphrodite) to be the recipient of a gifted egg (golden apple) which had been presented at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis.”
