Iris - Keeper of the Rainbow
"Throughout the ages, the rainbow has been the symbol of hope, a promise of better things to come. The ancient Greeks personified the rainbow as the goddess Iris, the favourite handmaiden and messenger of Hera, the queen of the heavenly court of Olympus. Carried by her shimmering wings, Iris travels so swiftly that mortals can see only the trail of her rainbow-coloured passage across the sky".
Isn't this absolutely lovely? Greek mythology has a way of explaining things in the most romantic light. And I had absolutely no idea Iris was the name of a goddess.
I guess you learn. This is what happens when you've got nothing better to do than surf the net aimlessly. Eh.
