Most famously, Eros (Roman equivalent: Cupid) the God of Love had angelic wings. The Goddess of Rainbow, Iris, is sometime depicted as a young woman with wings on her shoulders.

Also Thanatos, the God of Death (Not to be confused with Hades, the God of Underworld) had wings. It should be kept in mind that Thanatos is not considered a God by some authorities, they consider him a Daemon (not to be confused by the English word 'demon'. In mythology, Daemons were spirits of nature, mostly benevolent in nature).

The God of Messengers, Hermes, had sandals fitted with wings (known in Greek mythology as Talaria).

Other then these; Zeus, being the Lord of Sky, often changed to an eagle when travelling in the mortal world.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Greek deities were able to change their appearance at will, so visually different versions of same deities occur in mythology. Also, some deities have more then one form in various tales.
