From scientists to poets, few would deny the simple pleasure of witnessing a rainbow. It is unsurprising then that rainbows appear throughout mythology and in legend, weaving themselves into our cultural history like colourful strands of thread.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, rainbows are said to be the necklace of the Goddess Ishtar and they represent [...]
