We all worship at the altar of the goddess Aphrodite Kallipygos (Greek) later known as Venus Callipyge (Roman).
The statue shows her looking over her shoulder at her bum, obviously the first instance of "Does my bum look big?"
If a man didn't answer "No it looks absolutely beautiful" he was turned to stone.
Oops wrong goddess!
That would've been a Gorgon (the best-known of the three sisters being Medusa) rather than a goddess, wouldn't it have? Of course, whether some mortal considered a Gorgon to be "absolutely beautiful" or not--personally, I'm doubtful that I'd find any female with snakes for hair to be all that attractive--he/she was turned to stone upon looking directly at her.
The goddess Artemis (Diana) supposedly once turned a wood nymph (Daphne) into a tree, but at the woman's own request, for her to escape the romantic attentions of the god Apollo.
Perhaps anyone criticizing the 'callipygean' bumcheeks of Aphrodite (Venus) should simply be put across her lap for an Olympian-intensity paddling--she's been known to administer a sound spanking to her son Eros (Cupid) on numerous occasions, after all...
