What I can see

The 0.90m high brass sculpture is placed on a 2m metal pole and depicts the god Hermes (Mercury) as the patron of commerce and hospitality. Although it is located almost in the middle of Aeolou Street, most passers-by do not notice it. The sculptor’s name is written on the back side of the sculpture.

What I can't see

It was created by Alekos Fasianos and was a donation of the Association for the Upgrading of the Commercial Centre of Athens. Kyriakos Krokos had originally designed the metal pole to be wrapped in brass floral decoration.
