In Greek mythology, both Helen of Troy and Aphrodite are often depicted as embodiments of beauty, but they represent different aspects of it. Helen is described as the most beautiful mortal woman, whose beauty sparked the Trojan War, while Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty herself. In many tales, Helen's beauty is said to rival that of the goddess, leading to debates among mortals and gods alike. Ultimately, the comparison highlights the idealization of beauty in mythology rather than a definitive answer.
