The man who wings on his shoes and why we still have Athens Envy

So-called “Logios Hermes” (Hermes,Orator). Marble, Roman copy from the late 1st century CE-early 2nd century CE after a Greek original of the 5th century BC.
Messenger of the gods God of commerce, thieves, travelers and border crossings

Hermes gives us our word "hermeneutics" (the study and theory of interpretation) . 

Hermes delivered messages from Olympus to the mortal world. He wore shoes with wings on them and used them to fly freely between the mortal and immortal world.  As a crosser of boundaries, Hermes  was a 'psychopomp', meaning he brought newly-dead souls across the borders to the Underworld and Hades

So Hermes then,  the magician hermeneute. Hermes who can clarify the opaque, render the foreign familiar, give meaning to the meaningless, decipher the undecipherable, Hermes, he who traverses all boundaries.

Such a story explains why we still suffer from 'Athens Envy'.
