I know that different people have different taste, but there's a general consensus on which girls are hot and not, right? Also, I do know that being a bit chubby back then was supposed to be attractive cause that meant that they were better at bearing children or w/e.
Now that I got those out of the way, this is what inspired me to ask this question.
I've been reading these Korean comic books that tell the story of Greek and Roman Mythology(I've read it in text only form before, but I've just been bored lately and those were on my family's book shelf) that shows a lot of the paintings of Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses from the Renaissance area. Well, a lot of the pictures of the "beautiful women", whether it be Goddesses or human women, are mostly ugly. I think I've only seen like 2 or 3 pictures of girls where I thought they were genuinely attractive.
I'm guessing that was the standard of beauty back then for some reason? I wonder why that is? Especially a pic of Hera(wife of Zeus) grossed me the hell out, and she's supposed to be so beautiful that Zeus took so much effort into making her his wife. This also brings another question: If a girl that is attractive by nowadays standards went back in time, would the guys of that era look at her the same way I look at the women in the paintings?
