In Greek mythology, one of the three Graces (Charites), the daughter of Zeus and Hera, representing splendor and beauty.
From Ancient Greek 'Aglaia' (Ἀγλαΐα), derived from 'aglaos' (splendid, beautiful). The name literally means 'splendor' or 'radiance.' She was one of three sister goddesses: Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, who together embodied charm and grace.
The three Graces were so important in Renaissance art that they became an artistic motif representing beauty and refinement—Botticelli painted them, and the concept of 'the Graces' as embodied elegance has influenced Western aesthetics for 500 years.
