IRIS, The Goddess of Rainbow



IRIS was the goddess of the rainbow, a messenger of the Olympian gods. She was later described as a handmaiden and personal messenger of the goddess Hera.
Iris was a goddess of both the sea and sky - her father Thaumas "the wondrous" was a sea god, and her mother Elektra "the amber" a shining cloud godddess. For the coastal-dwelling Greeks the rainbow's arc was most often seen spanning between cloud and sea.

Iris had no distinctive mythology of her own. In myth she appears only as an errand-running messenger and was usually described as a virgin goddess.

Iris was depicted in ancient Greek vase painting as a beautiful young woman with golden wings holding a herald's rod (kerykeion), and sometimes a water-pitcher (oinochoe), in her hand. She was usually shown standing beside Zeus or Hera, often serving nectar from a jug. As nectar-pourer Iris was indistinguishable from Hebe.
Her name had a clever double meaning, being connected with both iris, the rainbow, and eiris, a messenger.

You Belong in London

You Are Spider-Man
Quick and agile, you have killer instincts (literally). And that kind of makes up for the whole creepy spider thing.

The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

Me, My Self and I
