In classical mythology, the goddesses who bestowed beauty and charm and who were themselves the embodiment of both. They were the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome. The gods were delighted when they danced to Apollo's lyre. They were constant attendants of Aphrodite.

They are Euphrosyne (mirth), Thalia (good cheer), and Aglaea (splendor). Also known as the Charites.
