Post 8: My wikipedia article

For my article i will be researching about the myth of Iris. I think  my article will be an interesting subject to study. For those who do not know she is part of many mythological stories such as Ovid's Metamorphoses. She is a messenger between the gods and the humans, and in different translations she will either fly on a rainbow or with sandals that have wings.

 I'm very excited to research her because i read something about her having a falling out with her sister. Apparently they work for different opposing sides. And i never knew that was a thing in mythology, besides Hades. So i think this will be both interesting for me and the reader, hopefully.

  1. Iris was actually one of my choices to do on this assignment! She's definitely one of the most interesting characters in the literature pieces we are reading. I'm certain you will find a lot of information on her! Good luck!

  2. Good choice! I wouldn't have thought to do Iris since her story tends to get overshadowed by the hijinx of the major gods and whatnot. However, as a huge fan of greek mythology and the like, I can't wait to read your findings! The best of luck in your research.

  3. Well now you have us all in suspense to read your paper. You made her seem very interesting and should be a fun project for you. Iris would be able to see both worlds of Gods and human from a different aspect.
