Alchemy is sometimes called the Hermetic Art after Hermes the messenger of the Greek gods. He is known by many as the father of alchemy, and an entire tradition of alchemy bears his name.
Probably the single most revered document in the Hermetic Tradition is the Emerald Tablet. Said to have been originally written by Hermes himself, stories of it's discovery remain varied.
