Its founding in 1866 was led by the ancient historian Theodor Mommsen,[2] who co-founded the publication with Adolf Kirchhoff and Rudolf Hercher.[3][4] Its first editor, from 1866 until 1881, was the philologist Emil Hübner:[5] most of its early contributors, including Hübner, were pupils of the Plautine scholar Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl.[6] As of 2024, it is edited by Hans Beck, Martin Hose and Claudia Schindler.[1]

On its release, the German scholar Wilhelm Wagner praised Hermes as a worthy rival to the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie, the oldest and then the dominant classical journal in the German-speaking world.[6] Hermes is listed by Scopus, where it has a CiteScore of 0.2.[7]
