Icarus - he was the son of Daedalus, famous for his death by falling into the sea when he flew too close to the sun, melting the wax holding his artificial wings together.

How about Cupid the child god of Love he has wings (You see him everywhere on valentines day.) OR...
Even better The Adult God of Masculine Love is Eros and he is also represented as a winged god (it is speculated that this is where the Christians got the inspiration for Angels from).
I also believe that Nike the Greek Goddess of Victory is a female deity with wings.

Out of curiosity, look at the emblem or figure on the Iranian flag. Doesn't it look like a winged and horned serpent to you?I wasn't able to find any description other than; "Special" What's up with that? Isn't the Phoenix bird really a dragon? Originally, birds were supposedly reptiles.

How about Mercury? He was the messenger god with the wings on his feet! Another good one is Icarus, the one whose wings melted when he got too close to the sun.

Hermes, the messanger god, has winged sandles. Icarus didn't really have "wings" attached to him, it was a bunch of feathers waxed together so that he and his father could escape. Icarus flew too close to the sun, wax melted, and he plummeted to his death.

You shoud draw the scene in which Zeus comes from the heavens as a giant eagle and swoops up Ganymede; it gave new meaning to the "mile-high club" before airplanes were even invented. :P
