IRIS was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. She was a messenger of the gods who, instead of riding in a chariot, would ride on the rainbow to and from Olympus in her beautiful robe of many colors. She was also the diety who separated the soul from the body after death. Since many believe the window to one’s soul is through their eyes, the colored part of the eye was named the iris.
