Invariably, a [[Love Goddess]] is ''always'' a Hot God. Note also that several goddesses (from a multitude of pantheons) were seen as befitting of the [[Lady of War]]/[[Hot Chick with a Sword]]/[[Hot Amazon]] archetypes, so it seems divine power may be telling of [[Power Is Sexy|how attractive power is]].
See the related [[Angelic Beauty]] for the divinely beautiful on the lower end of the cosmic totem pole. Consequently, see [[Horny Devils]] and [[Hot as Hell]] for a Hot God's infernal rivals in looks.

{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The goddesses of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''.
* [[Jerkass God|Zeus]] of ''[[Saint Beast]]'' is every bit as good looking as his [[Angelic Beauty]] [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|harem]].
* ''[[Kamisama Kazoku]]'' is quite possibly{{verify}} full of them.
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. Assuming [[YMMV|you think that]] she's a god, of course.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Father]]}} in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' after {{spoiler|he absorbs Truth and becomes a god, and winds up looking almost exactly like the [[Bishonen]] main brothers and the young version of their father. Perhaps to discourage [[Draco in Leather Pants|Draco In Leather Pantsing]], the anime had him [[Vocal Dissonance|keep his old man voice while in that form]]}}.
== [[Art]] ==
* Artists never seem to pass up an opportunity to make nude art of mythological figures, the goddesses in question often being [[Hotter and Sexier]] than they should be. The Graces are a common example of this; even the Greek poet Pausanias expressed puzzlement of why this started to become a trend. The three goddesses in the scene depicting the Judgement of Paris are a common "offender" here; from the Middle Ages onward, all three goddesses are typically depicted nude in art, despite the fact that they were not trying to seduce Paris, and it only fits Aphrodite's character.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Both [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]] and [[Incredible Hercules|Hercules]] qualify, as do many of their allies and foes, such as Venus (of course), Lady Sif, Valkyrie, and [[Vain Sorceress| the Enchantress.]] Ironically, Baldur is average looking, but a far better fighter than his mythological counterpart.
* [[Wonder Woman]] is often stated to be the [[World's Most Beautiful Woman]] in DC Comics. Her arch-foe Ares qualified occasionally, most often before [[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]].
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Celibate Hero|Hanuman]] from ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]'' has a [[Heroic Build]], which might be the reason [[Smitten Teenage Girl|a squirrel]] is really attracted to him.
* God {{spoiler|(played by Alanis Morissette)}} in ''[[Dogma]]'' could count as one. Jay mentions when {{spoiler|She}} kissed him, he popped a semi.
* Gozer from ''[[Ghostbusters]]''; the main cast [https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/2591a8e09e99d274d77e530c19daccfa379617f4/c=0-6-2406-1365/local/-/media/2015/10/26/USATODAY/USATODAY/635814764521017039-Page-65.jpg?width=1320&height=746&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp sure seems to have thought so.]
* Thor from the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] has his own [[Estrogen Brigade]], as does Loki. And with the release of ''[[Thor: Love and Thunder]]'' in 2022, [[Natalie Portman|Jane Foster]] is right up there with him for their spear counterparts. Valkyrie and Sif have their moments, too.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Elric of Melnibone]]'' stories. The Lord of Law Donblas the Justice Maker and Arioch, a Lord of Chaos.
** Arioch can take many forms, not all of which are appealing.
* ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'', being based on [[Greek Mythology]] and all. The gods have the power to change into whatever they want to look like, but special focus is given on the total hotness of Apollo and Aphrodite.
* The Valar in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. In their case they're [[Our Spirits Are Different|spiritual beings]] and when they walk among the Children of Eru they regard their bodies the way the Children of Eru regard fine clothes-as something to put on to impress others. In effect their bodies are a kind of [[Ermine Cape Effect]]. They choose whether to take a masculine or a feminine body depending on what suits their personality.
* Dweia from ''[[The Redemption of Althalus]]''.
== [[Live
* Pretty much every single God ever in ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' and ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]''.
* In season 6 of ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'', {{spoiler|Castiel}} is acting as God and makes numerous appearances around the globe. One parishoner describes him:
** "We all saw him. No beard, no robe. He was young and… and sexy. He had a raincoat—"
== [[
* [[Classical Mythology|Aphrodite/Venus]] may as well be the [[Ur Example]] since it was kind of [[Love Goddess|her]] main shtick.
** Other hot Greco-Roman gods were Apollo, Dionysus, Hermes, Hera, Ares and... well, most of them really. Hephaestus was the only real exception, described as ugly, misshapen, and often deformed.
* [[Mesopotamian Mythology|Babylonian]]: Ishtar
* [[Aztec Mythology]]: [http://www.gothambynight.com/scion/Tlazolteotl.jpg Tlazolteotl]{{Dead link}}
** Though she had an [[One-Winged Angel|alternate form]] that [[Nightmare Fuel|subverted this all to hell]].
** Also, she happens to be the Goddess that causes sexually transmitted disease.
* [[Egyptian Mythology]]: Isis, Nephthys, Bast. And Anubis, at least for the [[Furry Fandom]].
* Finnish: [http://www.neogrognard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Loviatar_DnD1.jpg Loviatar]{{Dead link}}
* [[Norse Mythology]]: Sif, Freyja, Baldr. ([[Trickster|Loki]] isn't bad-looking, but his tendency to [[Gender Bender|change sexes when he feels like it]] and his personality issues are more attractive to modern admirers than to Old Norse believers.)
* [[Mesopotamian Mythology|Sumerian]]: Inanna
* [[Japanese Mythology]]: Benten
== [[Tabletop
* ''[[Dungeons
** [[Dragonlance]]: [http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/ova-9.jpg Takhisis (human form)]
** Elven: Eilistraee, Hanali Celanil, [http://www.peldor.com/modules/fort9/selene.jpg Lolth (human/elf form)]
** [[Forgotten Realms]]: Angharradh, Corellon Larethian, Sune, Sharess
** The cover of ''[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Vs+6UTjIL.jpg The Immortal Storm]'' has two hunky, muscular guys and two scantily clad babes; presumably these are the protagonists of the module, where the PCs are epic-level demigods.
* ''[[Exalted]]'': Luna is both a [[Gender Bender|Hot God and Hot Goddess]]. (This is in a setting where [[Everyone Is Bi]].)
* [[Scion]] has notes about how the few aversions in their pantheon handle it.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Cosmos of ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''.
* Depending on your interpretation, the [[Bonus Boss|superboss]] of ''[[Crisis Core]]: [[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Minerva, is strongly related to The Planet's [[The Lifestream|consciousness]], either being its [[Anthropomorphic Personification|physical embodiment]] or goddess. [http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/61/Minerva.jpg Here,] [http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/4/45/Minerva_Artwork.jpg take a look.]
* ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius]]'' has Ashera, the Goddess of Order and Restriction. [[The Ghost|While she is only mentioned in lore in]] ''Radiance'', she is actually seen in ''Dawn''. {{spoiler|Very beautiful, perhaps otherworldly so, but she's [[God of Evil|evil]]. This is explained by the backstory: When the Goddess of Dawn Ashunera became so overcome by her emotions in response to the warring nations of the world, she accidentally summoned [[The Great Flood|a calamitous deluge]] that wiped out most of the world. In order to prevent this from happening again, a grieving Ashunera discarded her emotions. Ashunera became Ashera (who retained her original self's maturity), while her emotions manifested as Yune, the cute, childlike Goddess of Chaos and Transformation. [[Guide Dang It|Go through a few hoops]] (namely, recruit her [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Sephiran/Lehran during [[New Game+]]) and the [[God Is Good|benevolent]] Ashunera will return during the extended epilogue.}}
* ''[[Ys]] I & II'' feature Feena and Leah.
* ''[[La Pucelle Tactics]]'' has Goddess Poitreene.
* Asura and Inanna (who were based on Hindu and Sumerian gods, respectively) from ''[[Tales of Innocence]]''.
* The Harvest God (a [[Fiery Redhead|red-haired]] [[Mr. Fanservice|hunk]]) and the Harvest Goddess (who looks different in most of her incarnations but is still beautiful all the same) of ''[[Harvest Moon]]''.
* Palutena of ''[[Kid Icarus]]''.
** [[Medusa]] (the [[Big Bad]]) originally co-ruled Angel Land with Palutena until she was banished for [[Humans Are
* ''[[Touhou]]'': Suwako is more Cute God than Hot God, but there is the fact that Sanae is her great-great-great-...-granddaughter.
** Yukari may not technically be a goddess, despite being older than the land of Gensokyo itself, but she is ''quite'' attractive.
Line 76 ⟶ 88:
* {{spoiler|Grune}} of ''[[Tales of Legendia]]'' turns out to be one of these.
* ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]'' gives us the pair of Fujin and Raijin. Fujin is more "Cute" than "Hot", while [[Amazonian Beauty|Raijin]] plays this trope completely straight. Given their interactions in the story (notably, he being one of the few people who can bring out her [[Tsundere|softer side]]), it's a safe bet to assume that they're lovers.
* [[Mortal Kombat|Raiden]]. He assumes the form of a handsome adult male with a [[Nice Hat]]; his alternate costume in the ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance|DA]]/[[Mortal Kombat: Deception|D]]/[[Mortal Kombat Armageddon|A]]'' trilogy ditches the hat, revealing Raiden to have a [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy]] mane of [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]. In fact, he's one the prime sources of [[Mr. Fanservice]] among female fans of the series. It's a bit of a stretch, but the likes of [[Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub
** In ''[[Mortal Kombat Armageddon|Armageddon]]'', the defeat of [[Living MacGuffin|Blaze]] usually results in the victor [[Super Empowering|being granted a surge of godlike power]], but only a few of them actually become bona-fide gods. [[Mortal Kombat 3|Rain]] and Taven (both demi-gods; [[Divine Parentage|they share a father in Edenia's protector god Argus]]) ascend to full godhood, whereas the [[Mortal Kombat 2|younger Sub-Zero]] and [[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance|Nitara]] respectively assume the form of an ice god and blood goddess. [[Mortal Kombat: Deception|Kira]] is transformed into a goddess of death at the behest of Kobra, who demands the Elder Gods to make him Lord of the Realms and give him [[Minion Shipping|his fellow Black Dragon clanswoman]] [[Unholy Matrimony|to be his wife]] (this backfires, as [[Kiss of Death|Kobra crumbles into ashes when Kira kisses him]]). The Elder Gods also turn [[Mortal Kombat 3|Sheeva]] into a destroyer goddess in her ending. Liu Kang, on the other hand, defeats his former [[Mentors]] Raiden ([[Came Back Wrong|now]] [[Darker and Edgier|a]] [[Dark Messiah|vengeful god]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|willing to protect Earthrealm at any cost]]) and succeeds him as protector god of Earthrealm. {{spoiler|The last one happens again in Liu Kang's Arcade Ladder ending ''[[Mortal Kombat 9|MK9]]'', although Liu Kang ends up as a [[Drunk with Power|power-mad]] [[Fallen Hero|tyrant]].}}
* Althena and Lucia in the ''[[Lunar]]'' series.
* Any of the goddesses in ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]''. ''Especially'' former goddess [[Evil Is Sexy|Magiquone/Arfoire]]
* [[Warcraft|The night elf goddess Elune]] is depicted (at least in the RPG book Shadows & Light) as an attractive night elf female with very little clothing.
* Technically averted with [[Physical God|Almalexia]] from [[Morrowind]], who is too low-polygon to be considered any kind of hot, but in-game books really do describe her as an example of this trope. She also wears [[Vapor Wear]].
** You can also download high-poly Almalexia mods.
* In ''[[God of War]]'', the female residents of Olympus are hot, and in the case of Aphrodite, NSFW. Male gods, however, are much less attractive and in some cases, downright hideous. But then, ''all'' of them are presented as enemies.
== [[Web Original]] ==
Line 90 ⟶ 103:
* Princess Celestia from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is not only drawn more aesthetically pleasing than the rest of the cast, but also appears to be the ideal of equine beauty in Equestria.
** Princess Luna still seems to be more popular with the fandom, thanks to [[Ron the Death Eater|Celestia supposedly being a cruel tyrant]].
* In [[Disney]]'s ''[[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules]]'', the Greek gods seem to have been purposely designed with the intent to make them "larger than life" with [[Amazing Technicolor Population| brightly colored skin]], giving both Aphrodite and Athena unearthly beauty.
* Eris (Greek Goddess of Discord) is a [[Recurring Character]] in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'', and her skimpy toga, flowing, blonde hair and [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]] put her squarely in the Trope. Adonis too, but he only shows up once.
