| | Three Women: the Penis |
| | And there are three women in "The Marriage of Figaro": The Countess, Susanna and Marcellina. | | | Portrayed with and without wings, the Erinnyes in time became better known as those responsible for avenging offenses by children against their mothers, and eventually came to be the divine punishers - along with Zeus - of anyone who committed perjury or patricide. | | | Greek mythology presents to us the most ancients divinities as three women, triads of goddesses and phallic monsters. |

| | The Three Graces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Antonio Canova’s statue The Three Graces is a Neo-Classical sculpture, in marble, of the mythological three charites – daughters of Zeus – who were said to represent joy, charm and beauty. | | | His pieces do not seem to possess any real sense of time, they merely exist at a point in the past – almost ghostly reminders of a mythological happening, or person long deceased. | | | The three slender female figures become one in their embrace, united by not only their linked hands, but also by the scarf which links all of them together. |

| | They are the three daughters of Zeus and the nymph Eurynome and they are the goddesses of “Radiance,” “Joy,” “Fruitfulness,” “Splendor,” “Mirth,” “Good Cheer,” and many other things. | | | The three of them preside over happy events amongst mortals and gods -- gatherings with friends, dances and celebrations. | | | And even if I don’t have it correct, the joy for me has been in what Sargent has been able to teach me about the wider understanding of what these three women represent and their subsequent meaning at the MFA. |

| | These three women are described as if they were sisters because although they came from different backgrounds, they found a unifying force in the sculptor’s studio. | | | The three original graces are figures from Greek mythology who represent Charities (called in Latin Graces) for beauty, grace and artistic inspiration, and perhaps also, in their earliest form, of powers of vegetation. | | | Henrik Christian Anderson, a prominent sculptor, took the photograph which shows his mother, Helene, his sister-in-law, Olivia, and his model, Lucia. |
