| You have to be one of the stupidest morons.....Hardly, try to always remember yourself here. But as it turned out there was much to back up my thesis.......
Hermes we see not only as the first winged messenger of God from heaven which is the first holy spirit/angel but also is the "Good Shepherd" here on earth, shown here 550BC. Now we compare earliest Christian art that follows a long 800yrs later exactly the same, its only history of copying as i mentioned....the real history that is.
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.
Painted terracotta cult image of the Kriophoros from Thebes in Boeotia,
ca 450 BCE ( Musée du Louvre).
Sometimes it was a calf he was carrying, here is the Moschophoros of the Acropolis, ca 570 BCE.
The Christian "Good Shepherd" 300AD..... (800yrs later )
Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla, 250-300
