The name ''Agla''
Agla Hotel is named after Aglaia, who according to Greek mythology, was one of the three Charites (Graces), together with Thalia and Euphrosyne. The Graces were daughters of Zeus and the oceanid Eurynome. Aglaia, sometimes represented as the wife of Hephaestus, was the youngest of the three, and her name means "the brilliant, the splendor, the shining one". The Graces were personifications of charm, grace and beauty in nature and in human life. They love all things beautiful and bestow talent upon mortals. Together with the Muses, they serve as sources of inspiration in poetry and the arts. According to Homer the Graces belonged to the retinue of Aphrodite, while Romans knew them under the collective name of the Gratiae.  |
