His rod, I know, is the caduecus, and the winged cap is the petasos. But what about the winged boots/sandals? Also, is there a connection between Hermes’ winged footwear and the sandals used by Persus in his adventures? (I know Hermes advised him in his adventure, but I’ve always thoguht it was either the Graiae or the Stygian Nymphs who provided him with his gear.)
Thanks in advance.
It’s official, this place knows everything.
Why Wikipedia didn’t answer this question for me I’ll never know. I could assume that I simply misspelled “hermes,” “winged,” or “sandals,” but I’d rather swear vengeance.
The only way to find the Wikipedia page is by googling “talaria,” which sort of defeats the purpose. 
Talaria is Latin, by the way. To the Greeks it was “Pteroeis Pedila,” which I think is just “winged sandal.”
It’s right there on the Wikipedia page for Hermes:
D’oh! Link and everything.
It’s too late now. Not only have I already sworn vengeance, but the engine of my retribution is already in motion.
Any of you who happen to be in St. Petersburg may wish to stay inside tonight, unless you happen to be equipped with absestos-coated, frog-repelling umbrellas.
Hmmm. The god in Going Postal (Discworld novel) had another piece of winged gear. I wonder what that would have been called.
Pteroeis Pedila
talaria
petasos
Hmmmm.
Someone’s going to have to mention this sooner or later;
How about “wingtips”?
Not bad, but I think I can top it.
How about “Nikes”?
(Or swoosh, etc…)
