Hermes Trismegistus is the result of the syncretism of two ancient gods, the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes. Trismegistus, or “three times great,” is the epithet of the fusion of both divinities, becoming, “in its Christian rationalization,” an ancient prophet who would have received a divine revelation in the time before the pharaohs. The professor of Greek Philology at the Complutense University of Madrid, Miguel Herrero de Jáuregui, relates in this conference the history of those who inherited and cultivated the teachings of the hermetic tradition, of their reception, and comments on its fundamentally textual character through the three primary themes that the Hermetic Corpus covers: God, the cosmos and man.
