In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta is the daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche, according to Apuleius.[1] The Latin word voluptas[2] means 'pleasure' or 'delight';[3][4][5] Voluptas is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures". She is often found in the company of the Gratiae, or Three Graces.

Some Roman authors[6][7][8][9] mention a goddess named Volupia, a name which appears to signify "willingness".[10] She had a temple, the Sacellum Volupiae, on the Via Nova, by the Porta Romana. Sacrifices were offered to the Diva Angerona there.

The corresponding goddess in Greek mythology is Hedone.
