Iambe in Greek mythology was a Thracian woman, the daughter of Pan and Echo. She is the Greek Goddess of Humour and Poetry whose bawdy jests roused the grieving Demeter from her profound depression during her search for her daughter Persephone. She gave her name to iambic poetry. Some said that she hanged herself in consequence of her witty but cutting speeches.
