Aglaea or Aglaïa is one of the three Charites or Gratiae (Graces) in Greek mythology.
Antheia or Anthea is one of the Charites, or Graces, in Greek mythology and the goddess of swamps and flowery wreaths. She is the daughter of Zeus and Eurynome. She was depicted in Athenian vase painting as one of the attendants of Aphrodite.
In Greek mythology, the Charites, singular Charis, or Graces, were three or more goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity, goodwill, and fertility. Hesiod names three – Aglaea ("Shining"), Euphrosyne ("Joy"), and Thalia ("Blooming") – and names Aglaea as the youngest and the wife of Hephaestus. In Roman mythology they were known as the Gratiae, the "Graces". Some sources use the appellation "Charis" as the name of one of the Charites, and equate her with Aglaea, as she too is referred to as the wife of Hephaestus.
In Greek mythology, Cleta was one of the Charites (Graces).
In Greek mythology, the Horae, Horai or Hours were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time.

Nonnus reuses Homer's deception of Zeus episode as part of a different story.
