Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Iros (1)
The beggar who taunted Odysseus at the prompting of the suitors of Penelope.
His true name was Arnaios but he was called Iros (the masculine form of the name Iris) because he earned his bread by being a messenger and was thus compared, insultingly, to the messenger of the Immortals, Iris; he was beaten and broken by Odysseus for his insults and abuse.
