VOLUPTAS
In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta is the daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche, according to Apuleius. The Latin word voluptas means 'pleasure' or 'delight'; Voluptas is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures". She is often found in the company of the Gratiae, or Three Graces.
Some Roman authors mention a goddess named Volupia, a name which appears to signify "willingness". She had a temple, the Sacellum Volupiae, on the Via Nova, by the Porta Romana. Sacrifices were offered to the Diva Angerona there. Volupia may be considered the name of a deity that was venerated before Voluptas, sharing similar aspects. It is likely that it refers to the same deity, with a slight variation in name.
The corresponding goddess in Greek mythology is Hedone.
