#MythologyMonday - The Three Graces, known in Greek mythology as the Charites, were goddesses who embodied beauty, charm, and joy. According to Hesiod, their names were Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, each representing qualities that make life pleasurable and harmonious. They were often described as daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, though different myths offer alternative origins.
In Roman art, they were generally depicted nude in an interlaced group, but during the Greek Archaic and Classical periods, they were typically depicted as fully clothed, in a line, and in dance poses.
