Topic: Pasithea


  
  PASITHEA : Greek goddess, Charis of rest ; mythology : PASITHEE
PASITHEA was one of the younger Kharites (Graces), the goddess of either rest and relaxation, or of hallucination and hallucinogenic drugs.
She was a daughter of Dionysos, the god of wine, and the wife of Hypnos, the god of sleep and dreams.
While she plucked all manner of dew-wet plants she gazed all around the place; and there in a forest not far off she saw the madness of Lyaios her father [Dionysos who was driven mad by Hera during his war against the Indians and his army routed].

 CHARITES : Greek goddesses of pleasure & joy, the Graces ; mythology ; pictures : KHARITES
[2.1] PASITHEA (Homer Iliad 14.231, Pausanias 9.35.1, Statius Thebaid 2.285, Nonnus Dionysiaca 15.87)
The idea of personified grace and beauty was, as we have already seen, divided into a plurality of beings at a very early time, probably to indicate the various ways in which the beautiful is manifested in the world and adorns it.
The Homeric poems mention only one Charis, or an indefinite number in the plural, and from the passage in which Pasithea is mentioned, it would almost seem as if the poet would intimate that he was thinking of a great number of Charites and of a division of them into classes.

  Guy Gavriel Kay - Scholarship: Songs in the Blood: The Discourse of Music in Three Canadian Novels
When Pasithea tells Alessan that she has summoned him to her deathbed only to receive a mother's curse, Erlein calls her a "vain, foolish woman." His outburst is accompanied by "a discordant jangling of harpstrings" (475).
Pasithea, Alessan's mother, calls attention to this role when she stresses the importance of retaining such history; she bitterly resents the erasure of Tigana's name and its creation legends from the collective memory of the Palm.
As Pasithea articulates the concern she feels about the loss of the cultural history preserved by musicians, musicians themselves face a crisis of personal identity when they lose access to the very history they are charged with preserving.

 CHARITES (GRACES), Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
The eldest of the CHARITES, Pasithea 2, was promised by Hera to Hypnos (Sleep) as a bride if he would help her in making Zeus fall asleep.
In the sanctuary, the CHARITES were worshipped in the form of stones that fell from heaven in the time of Eteocles 2 [Pau.9.38.1].
Another parentage is added for Pasithea 2; some say she is the daughter of Dionysus 2 and Hera.

 Charites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They were the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, usually, though also said to be daughters of Dionysus and Aphrodite or of Helios and the naiad Aegle.
Homer (he too refers to the Graces) makes one the wife of Hephaestus, giving her the name of Grace.
He also says that Sleep was a lover of Pasithea, and in the speech of Sleep there is this verse:--

 [No title]
Iliad XIV) Pasithea is called one of the younger Charites, who is destined to be the wife of Sleep, and the plural Charites occurs several times in the Homeric poems.
Sostratus relates that Aphrodite and the three Charites, Pasithea, Gale, and Euphrosyne, disputed about their beauty with one another, and when Teiresias awarded the prize to Cale he was changed by Aphrodite into an old woman, but Cale rewarded him with a beautiful head of hair and took him to Crete.
The character and nature of the Charites arc sufficiently expressed by the names they bear: they were conceived as the goddesses who gave festive joy and enhanced the enjoyments of life by refinement and gentleness.

 Hypnos
Hypnos enters the sleep of mortals and, at the bidding of the Olympians, gives them dreams of foolishness or inspiration, depending on the individual and their divine protectors or enemies.
Hypnos is husband to Pasithea, one of the Graces, because he did a very dangerous favor for Hera.
During the Trojan War, Hera wanted to distract Zeus from the battle so she could assist the Achaians (Achaeans), who seemed to be losing the war.

 Minor Greek Deities
The three sisters were named: Charis or Aglaea ("Splendour"), Euphrosyne ("Mirth"), Thalia or Pasithea ("Good Cheer").
In Homer, during the fighting at Troy, Hera promised to Hypnos that the god of sleep could marry Pasithea, if he would help to lull Zeus to sleep.
Later, when the sea goddess Thetis went to Hephaestus asking for new armour for her son, Homer says that Hephaestus was married to either Charis or Aglaea, not to the love goddess Aphrodite.

 The Charites
Aphrodite as the Triple Goddess of beauty in action: love, physical grace, and refined manners.
Her title, Pasithea Kale Euphrosyne 'Goddess who is Beautiful and Brings Joy to All' was also a list of one of the oldest versions of the Charites, 'Goddess of All,' 'the Fairest,' and 'Heart's Joy.' They were originally represented by three standing meteoric stones, as at Orchomenos.
Still another version of the triad consisted of Aegle 'the light of the Sun or Moon,' Phaenna 'shining,' and Peitho 'persuasion.' When Aphrodite was considered their mother instead, she was called Charis, although Charis was originally a separate Goddess of joy that inspires art, or Eunomia 'good order.'
