In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta, according to Apuleius, is the daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche.[1] She is often found in the company of the Gratiae, or Three Graces, and she is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures", "voluptas"[2] meaning "pleasure" or "delight".[3][4][5] Some Roman authors[6][7][8][9] mention a goddess named Volupia, who had a temple, the Sacellum Volupiae on the Via Nova by the Porta Romana, where sacrifices were offered to the Diva Angerona. The name appears to signify "willingness".[10] The corresponding goddess In Greek Mythology is Hedone. See also
