 The course of the seasons was also symbolically described as the dance of the Horae, and they were accordingly given the attributes of spring flowers, fragrance and graceful freshness.For example, in Hesiod's "Works and Days", the fair-haired "Horai", together with the Charites and Peitho crown Pandora—she of "all gifts"—with garlands of flowers.Similarly Aphrodite, emerging from the sea and coming ashore at Cyprus, is dressed and adorned by the "Horai", and, according to a surviving fragment of the epic "Cypria", Aphrodite wore clothing made for her by the Charites and Horai, dyed with spring flowers, such as the "Horai" themselves wear.
