Who is Thalie, featured in our shop's name?
Do you know the famous painting "Primavera" from the Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli ? Three beautiful ladies are dancing under the soft floral breeze of Zephyrus. They are the Χάριτες, Charites in Greek language, or the Graces, all three daughters of the Olympus king Zeus.
Thalie, whose name means "blooming", "flourishing", or "joyful", is the eldest of the three Graces. Symbol of fertility, she awakens nature and embodies the cheerful, radiant side of life.
