Iris: Goddess of Rainbows and Messages

I chose to do a video on the rainbow goddesss as at the moment rainbows stand for many things, hope, pride but mostly a way to stay connected and a thanks to those who continue working to help protect us.
In this video I talk about the Goddess of Rainbows and messages, Iris. She is often forgotten about, very few know her importance, roles and how Hermes stole her job and even less know about her husband, son and twin whom she gets her Roman name from.
I have a playlist on here called "Greek Mythology Manifest" and it has all of my previous Greek Mythology videos on there. If you are interested, you can find them here: • Greek Mythology Manifest
I have a playlist on my channel called "Mini Myths" this is aimed towards younger children to help get them interested in Classics and Mythology, they are all popular myths told in a way that is child friendly so that they understand. If you have kids, know anyone with kids or teach kids then please find or let them know they can find these videos here: www.youtube.co....
I have done videos on Norse Mythology in a playlist called "Norse Mythology Manifest" In that playlist is "Norse Mythology an Introduction" "Fenrir: Devourer of the Sun" and "Thor God of Thunder" If you are interested in these videos you can find them here: www.youtube.co....
On my channel there is a playlist called "Reviews" and in this I have reviewed books and movies that all centre around mythology and Classics and I intend to do more. If you would like to see the ones I have already done you can view them here: www.youtube.co....
I have a playlist for "Revision Material" which features six videos on Greek Theatre at the moment but I will be adding more in soon on many different cultures. You can find them here: www.youtube.co....
I hope to soon expand further than just Greek and Norse Mythology and include playlists for Roman, Egyptian, Celtic, Mesopotamian and other mythologies from around the world. Alongside Demonology, Arthurian Legends and many other types Folklore from around the globe so keep an eye out for them.

This is so cool!!! Never heard so much about the Greek goddess considering I’ve haven’t found any only have heard of Hera, Aphrodite, Pandora, Rhea, Gaia, Medusa, psyche and that’s pretty much it

[@themythologymanifest1170]

Thank you, Im glad you liked it! I love talking about lesser known deities, I also have videos on Hecate, Ate, Amphitrite and a few other lesser known goddesses!

Thank you!!!!!!

Her wings are silver. Js

[@themythologymanifest1170]

I didn't know this, thank you. Where did you find this information?

[@Godravage]

Cara is wrong. Her wings are golden.

[@evelyneverlasting9038]

​​@@Godravage hmm seems weird considering silver reflects the rainbow and gold does not.
silver would fit better imo

[@Godravage]

@@evelyneverlasting9038 I'm not sure how all that works tbh. I would think any metallic object would reflect light, but the mythology claims her wings are gold. Silver maybe would have worked better.
