How do you pronounce Hermes?

The pronunciation of "Hermes" depends on whether you're referring to the Greek god or the brand.

For the Greek god:

* HER-meez (with a long "E" sound like in "her" and a short "ee" sound like in "met").

For the brand:

* HER-mez (with a long "E" sound like in "her" and a short "eh" sound like in "met").

So, while the two are spelled the same, the pronunciation of the brand is slightly different from that of the god.
