Charis wife of hypnus

CHARIS WIFE OF HYPNUS
Homer, Iliad 14. 231 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) :
"Hera answered him [Hypnos (Hypnus) god of sleep] : ‘. . . I will give you one of the younger (hoploterai) Kharites (Charites, Graces) for you to marry, and she shall be called you lady; Pasithea, since all your days you have loved her forever.’
So she spoke, and Hypnos was pleased and spoke to her in answer : ‘Come then! Swear it to me on Styx' ineluctable water. With one hand take hold of the prospering earth, with the other take hold of the shining salt sea, so that all the undergods who gather about Kronos (Cronus) may be witnesses to us. Swear that you will give me one of the younger Kharites, Pasithea, the one whom all my days I have longed for.’"

Pausanias, Description of Greece 9. 35. 1 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"Homer . . . says that Hypnos (Sleep) was a lover of Pasithea, and in the speech of Hypnos there is this verse :--‘Verily that he would give me one of the younger Kharites (Charites).’ Hence some have suspected that Homer knew of older Kharites as well."

Statius, Thebaid 2. 285 ff (trans. Mozley) (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"Pasithea eldest of the gracious sisters."

CHARIS WIFE OF HYPNUS

Her graful movements
Are as fast as a river,
As deep as the sea
But she also fals asleep sometimes,
And this is when
Hypnos arrives
And tells her to give him
One of her daughters.
She is confused
And doesn't want to lose
A beloved child.
Time stops for a while.
