Graces, The Three - Mythology. 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.
