Were Greeks Happy?

Did the Greek language have any word that was in some way equivalent to
the English word "happy"? The closest that I could come were MAKARIOS or
XARA, both of which do not have our idea of happy. If they did not have
another term, can we draw a distinction between being happy and having
joy?
