The three Graces were goddesses of beauty and were Aphrodite's attendants. When Aphrodite rose from a cushion of foam in the sea and reached the island of Cythera, where the Graces were, they dressed her, gave her jewels, and placed her in a chariot, then led her to Olympus, where Aphrodite became one of the Olympians.


They were Aglaia (Beauty or Splendor), Euphrosyne (Mirth) and Thalia (Good Cheer), the daughters of Zeus and the nymph Eurynome. Considered the embodiment of grace and beauty, they brought joy to gods and men and inspired artists.

The Graces (also known as the Charities) were the beautiful daughters of Zues and the nymph, Eurynome. Their names were Aglaia (splender and beauty), Euphrosyne (festivity and mirth), and Thalia (rejoicing and good charity). The attendance of the Graces was the assurance of peace and happiness. The Graces were usually depicted as women dancing in a circle.
