h a i r y j e d i . n e t - Iris - Goddess Of The Rainbow "Iris is the winged Goddess of the Rainbow and had much the same job as Hermes. She was a messenger of the gods who, instead of riding in a chariot, would ride on the rainbow to and from Olympus in her beautiful robe of many colors. She was an attendant to Hera [who was her mother], but was also loyal to other immortals like Zeus and Aphrodite. She was also the deity who separated the soul from the body after death. Since the soul exits through the eyes, the colored part [of the eye] was named Iris." from http://www.geocities.com/hestia624/goddesses-iris.html More:
