    In Spanish, a rainbow is an "arcoiris." Makes seeks that Arche and Iris are the two deities to form the rainbow then. 🤓🌈

      I've heard a lot of people say greeks didn't really believe the myths (after all, olympus was just a place they could go) and they were all allegorical stories, but I think that's modern secular projection that started in the renaissance. Renaissance pundits liked to play up the "positives" (things that agreed with their own, subversive ways of thought) and downplay the "negatives" (things that disagreed with them) of classical culture, after all. Greeks harshly punished atheists, which I think speaks for itself, and for example in the decades after Japan opened its borders when there were still a huge number of very serious and literal shinto or shinbutsu practitioners we got a glimpse of a people to whom their legends were MORE real because they could actually climb the mountains where their kami lived and "meet" them via channelers.

    • @pierremercier4724
      @pierremercier4724 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I totally agree with you, Joe. Ancient myths make us dream. Boring, dull-living positivists will always say that mythos are just childish, allegorical stories that help ancient civilisations to explain phenomenas they don't understand. I know that. But, anyway, in my opinion, a world without mythos, and especially this beautiful story, would be so empty, so drab that I would have no longer will to live in it. Why seeing the world in black and white when you can see it in so marvelous colours!

    I don't think I've ever had a definite favorite of all the Greek gods and goddesses, but I think recently my favorite has become Iris. She seems like such a pleasant figure, the embodiment of the rainbow, all she wants to do is help, very good of her. :)
    I remember being introduced to her in seeing her in Fantasia in the end of the Pastoral sequence, where she's seen after the storm painting a rainbow across the sky. Since obviously the movie didn't say her name, I think my family and I always used to call her "Mrs. Rainbow". LOL
    Also as a Christian, I like how at the end of the story of the Flood in Genesis, God sends a rainbow to symbolize peace. I always associate that story with Iris, too, as she can be a messenger of peace in Greek myth.
    I also recently found a beautiful instrumental theme for her done by composers Derek and Brandon Fiechter, in their 1 Hour of Greek Mythology Music video. Check it out, it's one of my favorites. :)

    Iris came to me during meditation. I had no idea who she was nor had ever heard the name. She came to me (weirdly as this may sound) and told me I was “the chosen one”! I have absolutely no idea what that means... I looked her up immediately and learned she’s a messenger!! Something happened today (the experience of communicating with her) and my life will never be the same!!! Thanks for sharing!!

The accounts of her having a twin sister who acted as a messenger to the Titans was news to me though :) I agree with your points on the dutiful, agreeable Iris. Isn't it a bit ironic that the goddess of the rainbow is the one with the 'colorless'/drama-less personality though? I almost wish a story of her making a fuss would be unearthed just to have a glimpse of "what makes her tick", y'know? Wish you all the best, Myth! 😆

    Lovely video, thank you! Iris appears as a character in plays of Aristophanes, in Plutos in particular, if memory serves me well.

    I have always liked the depiction of Iris in the Greek Mythology part of Fantasia. She's depicted at the end, after Zeus stops throwing lightening bolts at everyone.

    I've read about Iris before, especially her role as Hera's personal messenger. And her role in the Argonauts. She's one if those mysterious goddesses hat seems to be always in the background. Love this one! Who's next? 😍😍😍

    I’m actually not sure if I left this comment before. You mentioned her relationship with Zephyr. I couldn’t help but remember that in the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there’s a minor character named Zephyr Breeze who has a crush on one of the main characters, Rainbow Dash. The show staff actually took a lot of inspiration from mythology and folklore, so it occurred to me that if you ever wanted to make videos like that, which talk about the use of folklore not only in that show but in others to, then I would totally love to see them.

    I think she is very much respected among the gods , even if Hermès is the all time messenger for the gods , Iris is still a very interesting goddess and I hope to learn more about her in depth from you 🤗

    This is curious, how rainbow in Greek mythology is used to "relay messages/travel" in a similar way as bifröst is used for traveling between Midgard and Asgard in Norse mythology. There are other myths where rainbow is considered a way or bridge.
