Iris from Classical Mythology was a goddess that acted as a personal messenger of Hera, rainbows being her iconic method of transportation between Earth and the Heavens. She has a sister named Arke who performed a similar role for the Titans during their war with the gods, who represented the secondary faded rainbow sometimes seen in the shadow of the more prominent one.
All these legends and he somehow missed the rainbow tie-in with the Great Flood in the Old Testament, wotta maroon!
