About

The Charites are goddesses of Greek mythology who personify beauty and grace. According to Hesiod, their names were Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia and were the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, the daughter of Oceanus. However, their names, number and parentage varied across accounts. They have little independent mythology, and are usually described as attending various gods and goddesses, particularly Aphrodite.
