He is represented as an old man, armed and standing in a chariot,drawn by two horses, called Flight and Terror; his sister Bellona,was his charioteer. Discord goes before him in a tattered garmentwith a torch, and Anger and Clamour follow.

His exploits abundantly support this charac-ter. Mercury was doubtless some enlightened person in a remoteage, who,-on account of his actions or services was worshipped afterhis death. His Greek name, Hermes, signifies to interpreter explain,and he appears to have taught men the arts of civilization.
