Hermoor is the messenger of Odin and he is the Greek Hermes.



I have shown through my Mythological Unification Theory that as with other mythologies, the Nordic Gods and Goddesses (referred to as originally from Asia and not Nordic by Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla) are the same as the Cronide family and Greek god/goddess equivalents.
