About Peitho

Was a goddess of persuasion, desire, and seduction, and an intimate companion of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, several possible parents are listed including, Oceanus and Tethys, or Dionysus and Aphrodite, or Aphrodite alone. The author Nonnus lists her as one of the Charities-Graces, but this seems foolish to me the same author reports that she was the wife of Hermes? In another source she is given as the consort of Phoroneus, and mother of Aegialeus (sea shore, beach) and Apia (long ago). But Aegialeus is also reported to be the son of the king of Argos, Adrastus, and either Amphithea or Demonassa. She also said to have helped the three Graces adorn the first woman Pandora.
