For the ancient Greeks, a beautiful body was considered to be direct evidence of having a beautiful mind. If you were considered beautiful then you were automatically a good person, and the Greeks actually had a word for this. ‘Kaloskagathos’ meant gorgeous to look at, insinuating a good person. This is a concept that we still follow, consciously or subconsciously, today. Villains portrayed in film and television tend to be society’s view of ‘ugly’ whereas the hero of the film is generally considered ‘beautiful’. Sadly, one’s outward beauty has always been critical to one’s assumed morals and ethics.
