In Greek mythology why are things beautiful?

In Greek Mythology, things are beautiful because that's how people saw life in the Greek times. Gods and Goddesses are supposed to be much better than trifle humans, so they had to be GORGEOUS. In Greek Mythology they are always talking about the gods and goddesses being as beautiful as the things they represented.

I think the only god who ISN'T beautiful is Hephestus, the lame god. But that's why both his mother AND father threw him off Olympus.

In Greek Mythology things on earth are beautiful probobally because Earth is a goddess, Gaea.

Hope this helped!
