Lol, love this one:

 

"Girl, you've got cankles. Let's go running finally."

"Please, I've got food coming."

I have to chortle at all the depictions of Aphrodite as a chuby milf with no taper to her waist at all, like a high school hottie who got knocked up senior year and never lost an ounce of baby weight.

The only ones that are better to me are ones of Athena in the previous updates, where her flabby arms look like they'd have trouble picking up Aegis.

Yeah, I guess it was an idealized look back then. I wonder why though. If they idealized bigger girls as a symbol of fertility you would think they would prefer big breasts too, and not those mosquito bites. Personally I love that look though. I love it when a small-breasted girl gains weight but her breasts remain the same. It's a rare treat.

It was two beauty standards running against each other.

Women tended to get pregnant early and often then, well noble women did peasantry tended to wait until they were stable etc. this meant big boobs tended to droop early and there weren't good bras to give an illusion of them being pert. So if your tits were saggy or big you looked old. Roman women even bound their breasts in hopes they wouldn't grow!

Conversely, a woman was supposed to be fertile so some wide hips and a bit of tummy in a time of frequent famine meant she was well fed and fecund, with some medieval dress styles emphasizing a belly bulge.

That said a young woman wasn't supposed to be fat, her limbs were supposed to be lean, but her stomach was expected to have some pudge on it.

Beauty standards were always weird.

I love how, even though Artemis/Diana is supposed to be athletic looking, they usually always make her chubby, plump and overweight in these paintings. The same with Athena/Minerva.

One day I will do a story about greek goddess' who've let themselves go with loss of worshippers/modernity.

 

*Not really. The harem system produced uniformly paranoid, insane and incompetent sultans.
