Euphrosyne

Euphrosyne (/ju;;fr;z;ni;/; Ancient Greek: ;;;;;;;;;), in ancient Greek religion and mythology, was one of the Charites, known in ancient Rome as the Gratiae (Graces). She was sometimes called Euthymia (;;;;;;;) or Eutychia (;;;;;;;).[2]

Euphrosyne is a Goddess of Good Cheer, Joy and Mirth.[9] Her name is the female version of a Greek word euphrosynos, which means "merriment". The Greek poet Pindar states that these goddesses were created to fill the world with pleasant moments and good will.[10] Usually the Charites attended the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.[11]

In art, Euphrosyne is usually depicted with her sisters dancing.[9] - from an encyclopedia.

Euphrosyne

Her dance
Is made of pure joy,
Her movements are as light
As the wind,
Her hair flows graciously
In the fragrant air,
And her essence is
Truly feminine.
A goddess of joy
Under the sunlight
Enjoys her existence.
