Iris (Greek Ίρις, rainbow) is a deity of Greek mythology. It is the personification of the rainbow and, according to the physical conception of the Greeks of that time, can generate winds. In mythology she usually has the function of a virginal, winged messenger of the gods, preferably the goddess Hera.
According to Hesiod she is the daughter of Thaumas and Elektra and sister of the Harpies and the Arke, with Alkaios of Lesbos she is the mother… of Eros of Zephyr.
In Homer's Iliad, she is referred to as the messenger of the gods and performs this function in many ways for various gods: Zeus sends her to the Trojans to warn them; to Helena, that she might see the armies from the tower; Hera and Athene counter to prevent them from entering the fight.
Iris has a different function with Hesiod: If a dispute breaks out among the gods of Olympus, Zeus sends her out to fetch water from the river Styx in her golden cup.
