Iris · salience 0.8

“Her most consistent role, especially in Homer, is messenger — she is dispatched, most often by Zeus or Hera, to carry commands and information to gods and mortals alike, appearing and departing quickly and generally without independent initiative of her own; in this she runs parallel to Hermes, though the two are rarely shown together and seem to belong to somewhat different registers of errand.”

Gabriel · salience 0.6

“In art this produces a figure of poise rather than power, usually shown arriving, and the encounters are typically frightening to those on the receiving end despite his bringing news that is often good. [Generated Content]: Read as a personality, Gabriel comes across as composed and wholly transparent to his errand — a being with no visible agenda of his own, whose whole bearing is organised around delivering something exactly.”

Amabie

“who likewise emerge to deliver a prediction and a means of protection before departing or vanishing from the record.”
