The Three Graces, by Antonio Canova (Hermitage, St. Petersburg)

In Greek mythology, Pasithea (Ancient Greek: Πασιθέα), or Pasithee, was one of the Graces and the wife of Hypnos.[1] In the Dionysiaca, the epic poem of Nonnus (fifth century CE), she is one of the three attendant Graces of Aphrodite.[2]
