In Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, like in all of Greek mythology, Hermes plays the role of messenger. This is particularly important in this book because there are humans (more accurately, part-humans) who need to be communicated to by the gods. Hermes is the one to whom they all turn.
Even for Percy to be able to communicate with his father, Poseiden, god of the sea, Hermes must be called upon to bring messages back and forth. Hermes is also particularly helpful to Percy during his defeat of Procrustes.
