Historically, the Hellenic people have placed great value on physical beauty since the times of AncientGreece. This endured even into the [[UsefulNotes/ByzantineEmpire Byzantine period]] where according to their values, TheEmperor was a reflection of [[DivineRightOfKings heavenly authority]] and since God was perfect, the emperor also had to be [[TheBeautifulElite unblemished]]. It's no wonder that names such as [[Literature/TrojanCycle Helen of Troy]] are synonymous with beauty, and Myth/ClassicalMythology is overflowing with not just [[HelloNurse gorgeous girls]] but {{pretty boy}}s as well. The idealized Greek beauty comes from countless works of arts like paintings and sculptures, specially in the wake of neoclassicism during UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance. In some fictional works Greeks fall into ForeignFanservice territory, usually portrayed as idealized beauties with olive-skin and dark hair, though this is not always the case as their looks can vary due to the Mediterranean being a melting pot of multiple different people and cultures.
