Yeah this is definitely a case of the fame and personality making a very average to mildly unattractive woman (strictly from a physical point of view) appear much more desirable.
Aphrodite is mythological, Helen of Troy is ambiguous like King Arthur or Robin Hood. Likely mythical.
As a goddess, Aphrodite can appear as she wants, and often changes how she looks.
Helen, while human, is always described as “white armed” or “fair haired”, no mention of a unibrow.

That portrait goes hard.
