#euthenia

Hephaestus and Aglaia’s daughters 🥰

Fancast : Madelaine Petsch (specifically her as Cheryl Blossom XD) as Euthenia

mythology parent & child: hephaestus & euthenia

i’m not sure if we’re actually given a list of the eldest to the youngest in Greek texts,, but i imagine that Eupheme is the eldest, then Eucleia, Philophrosyne and Euthenia

as the Younger Charites, i think all four sisters are extremely close, and they probably do similar things to the Charites; i.e. attending to the various other deities and spreading general good cheer around Olympus

i imagine that Hephaestus spoils his daughters rotten.. i mean these girls are walking out of the house wearing the most beautiful jewellery you have ever seen,,, they all look like models

but they’re also literally the most pure hearted beings you could ever meet- they’re kind, they’re generous, they’re respectful... 

since Eupheme is the eldest of Hephaestus and Aglaea’s kids, and Eros is the eldest of Ares and Aphrodite’s kids, i think these two cousins get along really well

where Eros is the leader of the Erotes, Eupheme takes up the role of leading the Charites,, and i think those two groups actually hang out a lot together <3

Eucleia is the personification of glory and good reputations,, and the “glory” aspect of this makes me imagine her to be the most ambitious of the girls.. i think she has a little bit of a wild side

i also think Eucleia probably does little training sessions with Uncle Ares

Ancient Greek author Bacchylides described Eucleia as “garland-loving” so she probably enjoys making flower crowns and stuff :))

Philophrosyne personifies kindness and friendliness. from all the girls, i think she takes after her mum the most :)))

Euthenia personifies propsperity.. i think she’s got a bit of a green thumb and she does a lot of planting..

she complained once that her dad’s forge was too metallic and not colourful enough so she started growing funky flowers and plants that could withstand the heat and flourish,, Hephaestus loves seeing them every time he goes into work.
