Iris











Iris was the messenger of the gods, daughter of Thaumas and Electra, the daughter of Oceanos. When appearing before man she assumed a human form. The Homeric hymn to Apollo relates that she helped Leto give birth. Primarily messenger of Zeus, she also served Hera. She is the only goddess who is winged. [p. 49]
