<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 165045, member: 33&quot;]I have not found any goddess connected with Hermes who carried a weapon except for Athena. And she carried a spear, not whatever that is. (She and Hermes were said to be siblings.) However, it&#039;s probably not her, as Marko mentioned. She always wears a helmet and it&#039;s unlikely that she would be depicted in the nude.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems most likely to be Aphrodite, although that weapon is way out of place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t find any myths that connect Iris with Hermes. Yes, they were both messengers. Her main attribute was the rainbow, though. Once again, no staff or weapon.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I think it most likely that this is an inaccurate depiction of Hermes with Aprodite. She might just be holding the weapon for visual balance in the image. But this could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
