I've often asked myself why the human way of portraying the god(esse)s turns them into a collection of absolutely (nobel) kitschy representations. After all they are gods, and as such are supposed to represent perfection in all fields, physiognomy included. The Greek mythology deliberately represented them in their human weaknesses and I loved to read the stories about them, but when they were shown in sculptures or paintings they were always of superior beauty.
