Abstract
In classical Antiquity a rainbow appeared before the rain, while 9 nowadays it can usually be seen after it has rained. Ancient Greeks and Romans 10 were not happy when they saw a rainbow, although they also found it beautiful. This 11 paper examines the ancient ideas associated with the rainbow and the way the 12 import or perhaps admixture of Jewish and Christian ideas laid the basis of the 13 European tradition for a phenomenon that appears after the rain, and that is sup- 14 posed to make people happy.
