Hermes
a Greek rhetorician, who is mentioned in the work
ad Herennium (1.11), where he is called
doctor noster, and an opinion of his is quoted. The MSS. of that passage, however, vary, some having
Hermes, and others
Hermestes. Some critics have conjectured
Hermagoras, but the opinion quoted in the work
ad Herennium does not agree with what we know to have been the opinion of Hermagoras.
