Profile
Their names and numbers vary in different regions and periods. In Hesiod's description, there are three people, from young to old, respectively: Agria ("Magnificent"), Euphrochene ("Joy") and Talia ("Feast"). In Roman mythology, it is called Gratiae. It is said that the Cephissus River near Delphi is their holy place. At first, like other goddesses, they wore long white dresses, but in later art performances, they were usually nude. Homer wrote that they were followers of Aphrodite, the god of love, who often accompanied her.

God only relationship
According to Hesiod, the goddess of beauty is the daughter of Zeus and Eurynome, and some versions believe that they are the daughter of Dionysus and Aphrodite, or the daughter of Helios and the garden fairy Aegle. Homer wrote that they were followers of Aphrodite. They are also related to the underground world and the secret instrument of Erius.
symbolic meaning
They are feasts, consumption, and personification of the most colorful life. The life of the goddess of beauty is the life pursued by the Greeks. The Greek society was based on gifts and feedback. In their view, all they received was a "gift". Therefore, they are not only the ideal of life, but also the embodiment of the value system.
They materialize people's desire and are the embodiment of life, but not in the relative sense of death (thanatos): they are the joy that life brings to people. So they also represent games and all irrational behaviors: extramarital sex, eating when not hungry, and dancing (as an unnecessary body movement). However, only in a certain order can life bloom this level of beauty. They need a power to control. This kind of control came from Apollo, who used his zithara to command them to dance with regular rhythm and pace, which was completely different from the dance of Maenad who worshipped Dionysus. Similarly, the festivals represented by them are held only at specific times of the year.
Divine embodiment
The divinity of the goddess of beauty is the symmetrical plane of Erinaeus, who is responsible for hatred and revenge. They constitute the light and dark parts of order: in ancient society, revenge is a way of practical value; By exchanging gifts, we can jump out of the cycle of revenge and eliminate the contradictions of life.
Elegance or charm is the externalization of this divine nature, which can have different types: for example, the charm of lust, which can cause desire by virtue of Aphrodite; Glory is the charm of a soldier; For another example, the charm of a king can arouse respect for the law (a charisma).
This kind of "charm" can also benefit people. For example, Odysseus, after being served by Nausicaa and taking a bath, received the "charm" presented by Athena, which means that he has the same appearance as God.

The three beautiful goddesses symbolize all the beautiful things in the world. The three sisters have been inseparable since birth. Wherever they go, they will bring a beautiful and joyful atmosphere to the local area. Their innate temperament and divinity make all the bad things separated from them.
It is said that the three goddesses of beauty are Aphrodite's followers. They follow the goddess of love and beauty wherever she goes. However, unlike the goddess of beauty who suffered from the pain of love, the three goddess of beauty always get together with the three sisters to enjoy the joy of life.
Once, the three sisters followed Aphrodite to a village in the suburb of Athens. The arrival of the four goddesses naturally made the whole village seething. Aphrodite still attracted most people's admiration with its unique light as before, while the three beautiful and smiling goddesses inadvertently attracted the most handsome young man in the village, Seloger.
"Hello, three goddesses, do I have the honor to invite you to dance?" Seloger bravely greeted them while they were resting under the tree.
"Oh? Invite us to dance?" The three goddesses looked at each other, then asked with a smile, "Which one of us do you want to invite to dance?"
"This......" Selogleton was in a dilemma. He looked at the three distinctive goddesses in front of him. The eldest, Agria, represented magnificence, the second, Euphrosyne, represented joy, and the third, Talia, represented banqueting. Each of them exuded a splendor that was hard to choose from.
"Otherwise, let the musicians in the village play music and the three of us dance together. The one who can keep up with the rhythm will be your partner." Agria's suggestion was approved by the two sisters and Seloger. In the sound of music, the three goddesses danced together.
The dances of the three goddesses of beauty are not as crazy as Dionysus, the god of wine, but their steps have special rhythms and laws, which can only be commanded by Apollo's zither. Mortals like Seloger can't keep up. Looking at the three dancing goddesses, Seloger could not succeed after several attempts, but almost got his ankle twisted, so he had to stay away from the three goddesses sadly.
