Yes, Hermes is commonly regarded as the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Maia. He appears in several myths associated with Zeus. Disguised as wayfarers, he and Zeus were hospitably received by Philemon and Baucis, who were saved from a flood in reward. Hermes also famously slew the many-eyed giant Argus, who had been commissioned by Hera to guard Zeus’s beloved Io, a mortal woman transformed into a heifer by Hera.
