The Hermes in Henry James's "The Last of the Valerii"

At one point in Henry James's "The Last of die Valerii," the narrator mentions that Valerio is pondering an ancient Greek statue of the god Hermes. Since marriage and sexuality are central themes to many of Henry James's works, it is very possible that the traditions surrounding the Hermes play a role in this story. Indeed, given James's lifelong preoccupation with ancient Greek culture, it would be surprising if he were not aware of the sensational aspects of the Hermes tradition. Thus the statue may provide important clues for our understanding of the story.
