Stylistic differencesThe Three Graces

In Greek mythology, the three goddesses of joy, charm, and

beauty. The daughters of the god Zeus and the nymph

Eurynome, they were named Aglaia (Splendor), Euphrosyne

(Mirth), and Thalia (Good Cheer). The Graces presided over

banquets, dances, and all other pleasurable social events,

and brought joy and goodwill to both gods and mortals.
