Iris

Iris nicknamed Eye-ris,
Iridescent paired wings,
Indulgent to the gods,
Iliad's messenger,
In waiting for Hera,
Ignored in ancient myths,
Idyllic comes and goes.

Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. I don't remember much about these gods and goddesses, and I am not even sure we studied them. LOL.. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
