CHELONE
Greek Delayed Goddess
Also known as Khelone
Tardy Tortoise Goddess
She never got to the wedding of Zeus and Hera, claiming she never received her invitation.
Hermes, on personal postal duty as Messenger of the Gods, felt this to be a personal affront and changed her into a tortoise. So now she can never leave home for any event.
This is probably the deity to blame for transport delays and late arrivals. She apologizes for the inconvenience.
