Would they really have been called goddesses in Ancient Greece? We are reading essays on beauty and virtue written by Greek philosophers. It was common belief in then that beauty equals virtue, and common knowledge that Socrates was ugly. So when he preached about virtues, he got incredulous looks because he was ugly and shouldn't be qualified to talk about virtue. Learning to love beauty starts at the lowest rung of the ladder, starting with "beautiful bodies" (adolescent boys), which ascends to loving beautiful souls, and then sciences, society and so on until you can contemplate the beauty of the gods themselves who are perfect and true.  So no. Fat "people" are not goddesses.  If beauty was virtue, then it makes complete sense that hamplanets would have the personality of a shit bucket. Someone asked in class, "What would it mean if you thought a rabbit was beautiful?" The professor said, "if you think an animal is beautiful, then you have failed to even climb the ladder of beauty."
