The Three Graces
The Three Graces
(Charites) were the
goddesses of charm,
beauty, nature, human
creativity and fertility.
They were great lovers
of beauty and gave
humans talents in the
arts, closely associated
with the Muses. They
were the daughters of
Zeus and Eurynome,
usually, though also
said to be daughters of
Dionysus and Aphrodite
or of Helios and the
naiad Aegle. Homer
claimed they were part
of the retinue of
Aphrodite. Their Roman
equivalent were the
Gratiae.
