Hermes of Andros
The Hermes of Andros (Greek: Ερμής της Άνδρου) is a large Roman-era marble sculpture of the Greek god Hermes (known to the Romans as Mercury), god of commerce and messengers, that was unearthed in the Aegean island of Andros, Greece in the early eighteenth century. The sculpture was discovered in the ancient agora of Andros in 1832, just two years following Greece's independence from the Ottoman Empire, and originally displayed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens for several years until it was finally given back to Andros.
