#winged goddess

Sing, Muse, of the Great Goddess Iris the fleet-footed,

Protectress of the Rainbow, guardian of secrets.

Sing of her magnificent wings of many colours,

And Her radiant, all-encompassing beauty.

Good, gracious Goddess, grant me

Temperance, sensitivity, and understanding, O swift messenger.

I will be sure to remember You in another song,

Whether or not You remember me.

Lost Homeric Hymn to Iris (I)
