Hedone was a goddess of pleasure or enjoyment, the daughter of Eros and Psyche.

The Kharites (Graces) were daughters of Zeus and Eurynome or Eunomia, of Helios and Aigle, of Hera, of Dionysus and Coronis.

Hedone, who personifies pleasure, is not included in the traditional three Graces (Euphrosyne, Aglaea, and Thalia) because the Graces were typically associated with beauty, charm, and creativity, while pleasure was considered a separate aspect in ancient Greek philosophy. Hedone was more closely linked to the concept of happiness and enjoyment rather than the virtues embodied by the Graces.
