The three elder Kharites - Aglaia (Beauty), Euphrosyne (Merriment) and Thalia (Good Cheer) - were the handmaidens of Aphrodite.

The younger Kharites - Paidia (Play), Eudaimonia (Happiness), Pandaisia (Banquets), Pannyakhis (Parties & Night Revels), Antheia (Floral Decorations) were frequently depicted as attendants to Aphrodite.

Sea gods such as the Aphros and Bythos the Ikhthyokentauroi (Sea-Centaurs) and Tritones and Ichthyes; Nereides too are also depicted with Aphrodite. As are Nymphai of Mt Ida in Troia; Oreiades and Naiades.

Innculded in her attendents are the Erotes : Eros (Love) and Himeros (Desire) were the companions of Aphrodite from her birth. Pothos (Desire) as well Hedylogus (Sweet Talk), her son Hermaphroditos, Hymenaios, and Anteros.

Horai (Seasons) too, are often in the company of Aphrodite. They are most notably named as Eunomia (Good Order) and Eirênê (Peace).

Others are, Peitho (Persuasion) and Paregoron (Consoler); and her daughter Harmonia (Harmony); Genetyllis (Procreation), Khrysothemis, and Hebe (Youth) daughter of Zeus and Hera too.
