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.
