Abstract: 'In this classic, prescient work (first published in 1947, and foreshadowing all subsequent work greeting the return of the gods) Norman O. Brown asks, Is Hermes the Thief the prototype, from which, by extension and analogy, the Trickster was derived? Or is the notion of trickery the fundamental one, and theft merely a specific manifestation of it?'
