She was associated more specifically with sensual pleasure. In Greek mythology, Hedone is personified as a goddess of pleasure, enjoyment, and delight, as the daughter born from the union of Eros (personification of love) and Psyche (personification of the soul).
It is also the root of the English word " hedonism". Hedone ( Ancient Greek: ἡδονή, hēdonē) is the Greek word meaning " pleasure." It was an important concept in Ancient Greek philosophy, especially in the Epicurean school.
