Mythology - Greek - Charites
The Charites, also called the Graces, were the daughters of Zeus and were the goddesses that were the personifications of beauty (inner beauty & outer beauty), grace, virtue, charm, charisma, charity, generosity, joy, and kindness. They are often depicted as dancing with different goddesses, especially the nine Muses. While most depictions show Three Graces, some mythologies indicate there were more.
