Mercury (disambiguation):

  • The planet Mercury was known to ancient civilizations beginning with the Babylonians, Egyptians, Persians, and Chinese. The Greeks had two names for the planet: Apollo (in the morning sky) and Hermes (in the evening sky). The Romans named it Mercury for the Roman equivalent of Hermes, the messenger of the gods.
  • The element mercury is named for the same Roman gods, and was isolated from the mineral cinnabar, mercury sulfide, as early as 1500 BC in ancient Egypt. It was also produced in China before the 2nd century BC.
