Thoth, Hermes and Hermes Trismegistus
One god under three names, across The Gift of the Nile, The Olympian Order and The Roman Inheritance.
Why the sources call them one god
for they identified him with their own Hermes, in his most learned and mediating aspect
the Thrice-Great Hermes, who was Thoth under his Greek interpretation
From the entry on Thoth, naming Hermes Trismegistus
(Hermes Trismegistus, treated under Thoth in Volume II)

From the entry on Hermes Trismegistus, naming Hermes
the two gods being already identified in Hellenistic times because both were patrons of writing
From the entry on Hermes Trismegistus, naming Thoth
