Extrait du document
Greek Goddesses of beauty
and charm, they were themselves embodiments
of both. The Graces are usually thought to be
the daughters of the god Zeus and Eurynome.
The poet Hesiod named them: Thalia (Flowering),
Euphrosyne (Joy), and Aglaia (Radiance). The Three
Graces were the personification of joy and well being.
They were present at human and divine marriages,
and constantly attendant upon the goddess of love,
Aphrodite. They were also associated with the god
Apollo.
The Three Graces are often depicted as mingling
with nymphs in joyous dances celebrating the bounties
of nature.
