The Three Graces © George Grie, May 2001 |
title: The Three Graces
The Charites, figures of Greek mythology known as "The Three Graces". In Greek mythology, a Charis is one of several Charites(Greek: "Graces"), goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility. They ordinarily numbered three, from youngest to oldest: Aglaea ("Beauty"), Euphrosyne ("Mirth"), and Thalia ("Good Cheer"). In Roman mythology they were known as the Gratiae. Although the Graces usually numbered three, according to the Spartans, Cleta, not Thalia, was the third, and other Graces are sometimes mentioned, including Auxo, Charis, Hegemone, Phaenna, and Pasithea. The Charites were usually considered the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, though they were also said to be daughters of Dionysus and Aphrodite or of Helios and the naiad Aegle. Homer wrote that they were part of the retinue of Aphrodite. The Charites were also associated with the underworld and the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and their own cult and ritual practices. Modern scholars referred to the myths and studied them in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient Greece and, in general, on the ancient Greek civilization.

Dean and Lisa / United States / May 3rd, 2010
I am interested in using your image for one of my single releases forthcoming on our record label. My label will be a small independent label and I want to go with an artistic surreal theme in conjunction with my music policy.
Anton / Russia / Mar 13th, 2010
I'd like your permission to use this picture on the front cover of my book. I'm a starting artist, so I probably can't afford to pay for your services - but I can surely give you credit for the image and send you a copy of the book!
Andrea / Italy / Oct 9th, 2009
Hello, I am an Italian musician, I do not speak English very well, and I'm sorry to disturb you. I wanted to know if you realize covers for albums.
Elycia / United States / May 5th, 2008
But why are they so thin? The older painting have the three graces pleasantly plump and carefree, not carrying the world on their shoulders.
Anton Huckleberry / Scotland / Mar 27th, 2008
It's like a scene from the beginning of universe. We born, then walked around and we about the beauty of nature, Old ways are forgotten, no longer that can't breath in the future. Nobody was knowing that beauty would be rare...
