Eris and Aphrodite in a History of Beauty Debates
The piece riffs on myth of Eris and the golden apple beside a modern beauty discussion from the West Australian. It ties Paris judgment to Aphrodite Beauty and explores historical notes on Eve, Eve’s apple, Greek and Egyptian beauty lore, and how society measures beauty. It weaves in references to Milton, Shakespeare, Plato, Xenophon, Cleopatra, and the Venus de Milo while critiquing cosmetic culture. The tone remains antiquarian and discursive about appearance and gender.
