| Jun 20, 2022 at 13:50 | comment | added | Xygo | Thank you cmw, Penelope for your comments. To answer your comment, cmw, I would like to go with Latin for the Magnum opus part. For Penelope, thanks for your welcome. indeed I'm new to this community. Yes, I would be good with a translation with Mercurius, as long as Mercurius refers to the god of language and/or communication. As my paper is about communication. Hope I answered your comments properly. Thank you | |

To put cmw's question above another way, would you be okay with a translation that had Mercurius (i.e. Mercury), instead of Hermes? If "magnum opus" is important to your quote, then I guess you need it to be in Latin. But is the name "Hermes" also important? | |
