Hello LaNell
The Rainbow, Rose of Roses, the Queen of Queens in AdLandPro, You LaNell earned a place in my heart. I feel like this for you.
Iris means ‘rainbow’, thus implying that her presence is a sign of Hope.
The Wind-Footed Messenger of the Gods
Iris
Iris was the Wind-Footed messenger of the Gods, the messenger of Zeus and goddess of the Rainbow. Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and Elektra (Electra) and the wife of Zephyrus (West Wind). She flys from place to place as the faithful voice of Zeus. Her words were never doubted and her presence commands respect amongst Immortals and mortals alike. Her sisters are the winged-women known as the Harpies. When the Argonauts were trying to chase the Harpies away from the blind seer, Phineus, Zeus sent Iris to warn the aggressive sailors not to harm the Harpies.
She plays an essential role in The Iliad as the messenger of Zeus. She is also loyal to other Immortals, such as Aphrodite (goddess of Love). When Aphrodite was wounded at Troy, Iris helped her into Ares’s war chariot and drove the injured goddess to Mount Olympos to be treated for her wounds.
Best Regards
Georgios
