Hermes, so we have him not only the winged messenger of God from heaven (holy spirit/angel) but also is the "Good Shepherd" here on earth. Compare the later earliest Christian art to that ancient sculpture that follows, even you & your British rocker Indiana Jones can see a similarity of theme. You just keep protesting, i'll just keep providing the more solid evidence time after time that supports the truth, like the virgin birth & it was all pagan derived.
The Greek Hermes , the Good Shepherd 550BC:
He is the lord of the herds, epimélios and kriophoros, who leads them to the sweet waters, and bears the
tired ram or lamb on his shoulders, and assists them with the shepherd's crook, the kerykeion.
The Christian 300AD, 800yrs later
Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla, 250-300
