Hermes Trismegistus

Hermes Trismegistus is a legendary Hellenistic figure that originated as a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. He is often credited with the authorship of the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism. The historical existence of Hermes Trismegistus is debated, and he is considered more of a symbolic figure than a historical person.
