Character Introduction
Their names and numbers vary greatly depending on different regions and periods. In Hesiod's description, there are a total of three individuals, ranked from young to old: Agria ("magnificent"), Euphorus ("joyful"), and Talia ("feast"). In Roman mythology, it is called Gratiae, and it is said that the Cephissus River near Delphi is their holy place. They initially wore white long dresses like other goddesses, but in later artistic performances, they usually appeared naked. Homer wrote that they were attendants of the goddess of love, Aphrodite, who often accompanied her.
Deity relationship
According to Hesiod, the goddess of beauty was the daughter of Zeus and Eurynome, and some versions suggest that they were the daughters of Dionysus and Aphrodite, or Helios and the garden fairy Aegle. Homer wrote that they were followers of Aphrodite. They are also associated with the underground world and the Elucid Mysteries.
symbolic meaning
They are banquets, 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 built on the basis of gifts and rewards, and in their view, everything received was a "gift". Therefore, they are not only the ideals of life, but also the embodiment of the value system.
They objectify human desires and are the embodiment of life, but not in the relative sense of death: they are the joy that life brings to people. So they also represent games and all irrational behaviors: extramarital sex, dining when not hungry, dancing (as an unnecessary physical activity). However, only in a certain order can life bloom with this level of beauty. They need a force to control. This control came from Apollo, using his zithara to direct them to dance in a regular rhythm and pace, which was completely different from the dance of Maenad, who worshipped Dionysus. Similarly, the festivals represented by them are only held at specific times of the year.
Divine manifestation
The divinity of the goddess Meihui is the symmetry of Erinius, who is responsible for hatred and revenge. They constitute the light and dark parts of order: in ancient society, revenge was a way of practical value; By exchanging gifts, one can break 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, favored by Aphrodite, can evoke desire; Glory is the charm of a warrior; For example, the charm of a king can evoke respect for the law (a form of charisma).
This' charm 'can also be bestowed on people, such as Odysseus, who was served by Nausica to bathe and received the' charm 'bestowed by Athena, becoming like a god in appearance.
The three Meihui Goddesses symbolize all the beautiful things in the world. The three sisters have been inseparable since their birth. Wherever they go, they will bring a beautiful and joyful atmosphere to the local area. Their inborn temperament and divinity keep all the bad things away from them.
According to legend, the three goddesses of beauty and beauty were followers of Aphrodite, and they followed wherever the goddess of love and beauty went. However, unlike the goddess of beauty who suffered from 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 boiling. Aphrodite still attracted most people's admiration with its unique light as usual, while the three beautiful and smiling goddesses inadvertently attracted the most handsome young man in the village, Seloger.
Hello three goddesses, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance together? "Selogel boldly approached and greeted them while they were resting under the tree.
Oh? Invite us to dance together? "The three goddesses looked at each other and then asked back with a smile." Which one of us would you like to invite to dance
This... "Selogleton fell into a dilemma. He looked at the three distinctive goddesses in front of him, the eldest representing grandeur, the second representing joy, and the third representing feasting. Each of them exuded an irresistible radiance.
How about this? Let the village musicians play the music and the three of us dance together. Whoever can keep up with the rhythm will be your partner. "Agria's suggestion was approved by the two sisters and Selogel. Amidst the sound of music, the three goddesses danced together.
The dance of the three goddesses of beauty and beauty is not as crazy as Dionysus, the god of wine, but their steps have a special rhythm and pattern, which is usually only commanded by Apollo's zither, and cannot be followed by mortals like Seloger. Looking at the three constantly dancing goddesses, after several attempts, Selogel not only failed, but almost twisted his ankle. Helplessly, he had to stay away from the three goddesses in despair.
