Three Graces

The panel on the left depicts The Three Graces standing in their familiar Hellenistic composition. They were handmaids of Aphrodite and appeared in this form on the decoration of her cult statue at Aphrodisias. Their names evoked their character: Euphrosyne (Joy), Aglaia (Splendor), and Thaleia (Bloom). (from the description of the panel in the Museum of Aphrodisias).
