Yes, in Ancient Greece, being beautiful was associated with being a good person. There was even a saying about that: being "καλὸς κἀγαθός" (kalos kagathos / kalos kai agathos) meant being "beautiful and virtuous".

_Kalos = beautiful, _ like in calli-graphy (beautiful-writing)
_Kai = and_
_Agathos = good, virtuous, _ like in the surname "Agatha"

Actually, the genius of Homer is that he NEVER describes Helen. She is the pinnacle of female beauty and by not being described at all, any reader depicts her in their mind as their perceived 10/10.

Also note thst Aphrodite was pretty medium in body fat, not super thin but also not fat. Just so much she would likely be peak fertility (yes that correlates with a certain level of body fat in women)

Being beautiful gets you lots of perks.
