The classical Greek noun that best translates to the English beauty or beautiful was ÎºÎ¬Î»Î»Î¿Ï, kallos, and the adjective was ÎºÎ±Î»ÏÏ, kalos. However, kalos may and is also translated as â³goodâ³ or â³of fine qualityâ³ and thus has a broader meaning than only beautiful. Similarly, kallos was used differently from the English word beauty in that it first and foremost applied to humans and bears an erotic connotation.
