Hermes did not have temples. His statue was placed everywhere, and square blocks of marble showing a head and the male genitalia were called "Herms" and set up in many places. On these statues, Hermes is generally shown with a beard. However, the capital town of the Greek island of Syros is named Ermoupolis (City of Hermes) which may indicate a special reverence for the god there in ancient times.
