There are many vague stories about Hermes because he only appeared briefly on the few times he was visible.
1. Certainly his main symbol is the Caduceus, his shepherding staff which has spread wings at the top and two entwined snakes wrapped around the shaft. You can see this symbol on the cover of "Hermes the Olympian" The book by David Rosser.
2. A second symbol was the Helmet of Invisibility he took from Hades as his own.
3. A third symbol was the winged sandals given to him by Zeus to help carry out his duties as a messenger.
4. The fourth symbol of Hermes is a pile of stones which helps a shepherd or a traveler find his way in the wilderness. He is such a helpful God he tries to stop people from getting lost.
