  •  Comment Sorry no, it is an allegory of "The Peace" (look, the lady puts out the torch of the war...), by Jean Baptiste Tuby, after drawings of Charles Le Brun--Jebulon (talk) 18:43, 25 January 2011 (UTC) .
    • Iris the female equivalent of Mercury in some ways. They are the only 2 gods as far as I know that carry a caduceus: Therefore I think it's Iris. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 01:01, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

 CommentSorry again.errare humanum est, sed perseverare diabolicum. I encourage you to follow the link (in french, sorry) i provided above. Do you really think you know the place better than Mrs Béatrix Saulé, General Director of the Museum and National Domaine of the Château de Versailles, which Is responsible of the website ? Here Is shown an allegory, not a goddess. There was indeed a statue of Iris in another place in Versailles, but it Is destroyed now.--Jebulon (talk) 10:48, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I went to the link, still didn't explain the caduceus. And why would such an object, one that is only associated with the deity pantheon be included in this unless it was meant to point back to that same mythology? No, I'm afraid you're gonna have to do better than that. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can do nothing for you, because you want that it is Iris. This is your opinion. But it is "The Peace", and it is not an opinion, but a fact. This statue is part of a set with an allegory of Abundance. Peace and Abundance makes sense. Iris and Abundance is a nonsense... About the caduceus, there is an explanation you obviously didn't read, but let's go, no matter.--Jebulon (talk) 18:32, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I re-read the text, I missed that line. Hmm... Fine, still skeptical but I'll accept your claim. -- IdLoveOne (talk) 19:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
