Talaria are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes (Roman equivalent Mercury). They were said to be made by the god Hephaestus of imperishable gold and they flew the god as swift as any bird. The name is from the Latin talaria, neuter plural of talaris, "of the ankle".

The talaria are mentioned in Homer, who describes them as ἀμβρόσια χρύσεια / ambrósia khrýseia, ("immortal/divine and of gold"). However, he does not mention the wings. Those are first mentioned in the Shield of Heracles, which speaks of Ancient Greek: πτερόεντα πέδιλα / pteróenta pédila, literally "winged sandals."
