Narcissus: became obsessed with his own reflection and wasted away staring at it.
Adonis: the peak “pretty boy” archetype. So attractive that he pulled Aphrodite (stacy). Some say he was a genetic chad and not a looksmaxxer.
Paris of Troy: judged the beauty contest between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, so he was clearly tapped into the ancient looks debate. He chose Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty and lover of Adonis, after she promised him Helen of Troy. That choice helped trigger the Trojan War, basically the ultimate simp war over the most beautiful woman in the world (apparently).
Apollo: the godly ideal of male beauty, youth, music, athletics, prophecy, and status. Had the ultimate halo effect among gods and mortals, although modern looksmaxxers would contest this by pointing to his multiple rejections and arguing he was either overrated or lacked NT.
For me, Adonis is the true chad. If someone gets called “an Adonis” in real life, everyone knows what that means
