Volupta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Roman mythology, Volupta was the daughter of Psyche, a mortal woman brought to live on Olympus, and Cupid, the God of love (Eros in Greek mythology, from which this myth came). She was also known as "Voluptas," Latin for "pleasure" or "bliss," of which she was Goddess. "Voluptuous," a word with a certain sense of je ne sais quoi that means full of sensual pleasures, is derived from the same root as Voluptas' name. The first known mention of Volupta was by Lucius Apuleius, the Roman author of "The Golden Ass."
