Hymen (god)

In Greek mythology, Hymen, Hymenaios or Hymenaeus (Ὑμέναιος), is a god of marriage ceremonies who inspires feasts and song. Related to the god's name, a hymenaios is a genre of Greek lyric poetry that was sung during the procession of the bride to the groom's house in which the god is addressed, in contrast to the Epithalamium, which is sung at the nuptial threshold.
