Before aeroplanes, radio, telephony and the internet, carrying messages quickly was a problem. So that the gods could communicate at a fitting pace, into the mythology was built a god who could fly as messenger of the gods.
The same mythology got into the Judaeo-Christian pantheon - angels with wings were dreamed up to do the same (in Greek:αγγέλω pronounced anghelo- [angel] = I announce, ie a messenger/herald).
