Thalie is the personification of abundance, even superabundance, the overflow of life, which is lavished as a gift;
Aglaé is beauty in what she has most dazzling, splendor. This is the youngest and passes by Hesiod for the wife of Hephaestus instead of Aphrodite. Finally, Aglae is also the messenger of Aphrodite.
Like all gods and goddesses, they are eternally young and beautiful, at the age that the Greeks regarded as that of fullness, between the ages of fifteen and twenty.
