O 'Frosin in Ophrodine.

Graces/Kharites in Greek mythology: it is the general name of three charming, elegant and beautiful goddesses. They are the daughters of Zeus and Euronome, dancers of the gods, and bring beauty and joy to the world. They are Glorious Goddess Agraia, Inspiring Goddess Talia and Happy Goddess Ophologyne. Carites (Greek: χ? ριτε? , "demeanor" or "elegance" and "charm"; Charites (Latin transliteration) is the goddess graces who embodies the beauty of all life in Greek mythology. Their names and numbers vary from region to region and from time to time. There are three of hesiod's works, from young to old: Aglaea (Magnificence), Ophrodine (Joy) and Thalia (Feast). In Roman mythology, they were called Gratiae. Cephissus near Delphi is their holy land. According to hesiod, the goddess of graces is the daughter of Zeus and Onomo, and some versions think that they are the daughters of Dionysus and Aphrodite, or the daughters of Helius and the garden fairy Agero. Homer wrote that they were followers of Aphrodite. They are also related to the underground world and the secret instrument Erriu. At first, they wore long white dresses like other goddesses, but in later art performances, they were usually naked. They enjoy, consume and personalize the most colorful life. An elegant life is the life pursued by the Greeks. Greek society is based on giving gifts and giving back. In their view, all they get is a "gift". Therefore, they are not only the ideal of life, but also the embodiment of the value system. They materialize people's desires and are the embodiment of life, but they are not thanatos in the relative sense: they are the joy brought by life. So they also represent games and all irrational behaviors: extramarital sex, eating when not hungry, and dancing (as an unnecessary physical exercise). However, only under a certain order can life bloom with this degree of beauty. They need a kind of power to control. This control came from Apollo, who used his kithara to direct them to dance with regular rhythm and pace, which was completely different from the dancing of myna who worshipped Dionysus. Similarly, the festivals they represent are only held at certain times of the year. Grace's divinity is the symmetrical plane of Erynnyes, and he is in charge of hatred and revenge. They constitute two parts of order: in ancient society, revenge was a practical way; By exchanging gifts, we can jump out of the cycle of revenge and get rid of the contradictions in life. Elegance or charm is the externalization of this divinity, which can have different types: for example, the charm of lust favored by Aphrodite can arouse desire; For another example, glory is the charm of soldiers; Another example is that the charm of the king can arouse respect for the law (a charm). This "charm" can also be friendly to people, such as Odysseus. After being bathed by Nausicaa, he accepted Athena's "charm", that is, he became like God.
