Greek mythology

Euphrosyne (‘joy’), together with her sisters Thalia and Aglaea, formed the three Charites, who were generally represented dancing.

Euphrosyne wore a gold-colored bracelet in her left hand and adorned her hair with flowers. In one of her hands she held a smiling mask, which represented happiness and joy.


Euphrosyne is related with the feelings and thoughts that are communicated during a physical union with another person, for example during pregnancy, holding a baby, or hugging another person.
