Iris

&nbsp

Iris is the Goddess of the Rainbow. She carries messages for gods, goddess, and if you ask nicely and she's not too busy, to demigods. To Iris Message (IM) someone, you must find or make a rainbow (easier in modern times with the advent of the water hose) and throw a drachma through it, then say: "O, Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept our offering." and name who you wish to speak to and where they may be found.

[edit] History
Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and the ocean nymph Electra, an Oceanid. Her sisters are the Harpies, Aello, and Ocypete.

As the sun unites Earth and heaven, Iris links the gods to humanity. She travels with the speed of wind from one end of the world to the other, and into the depths of the sea and underworld.

Iris is married to Zephyrus, who is the god of the west wind. Their son is Pothos.
