If the grace we see in bodies is due to a seeming ease or effortlessness in complex transitions in space, is the grace we see in minds due to a seeming ease or effortlessness in complex transitions in thought?

Is one who is training to easily switch between models or modes of thought, then, training to be graceful in their mind?

Is combining the "left-brain" and "right-brain" into a cohesive and fluid whole, then, under the domain of Venus?

I would think partially Venus and partially Mercury (and when the "left-brain" and "right-brain" are fully integrated, Hermaphrodite).

I have not spent much time learning about the Graces yet. I am intrigued by two things in your comment. First, is Aglaia ever referred to or associated with "peace"? Second, where can I find the text from Pausanias you reference? (My quick searches this morning have only found me articles that reference it, but not the actual text.) I am curious about Euphrosyne holding dice. Dice are associated with Hermes and he used them for divination, so I want to see if there is something in the text that is associated with that, or is it just dice being used as a plaything.
