Trivia: Mercury is the roman god of what?
Farmers
Warriors
Politicians
Travelers
The correct answer is Travelers
So why is this answer correct? : Known best as the messenger of the gods (just like his Greek equivalent, Hermes), Mercury is also the god of travelers because of his well-known speed. Mercury was also the alchemical name for the element known as “quicksilver.” (Alchemy is an ancient scientific practice.) Interestingly, Mercury remains the only element on today’s periodic table still referred to by its alchemical name.
