because as we all know, the caveman ended up being a cyclops, his men were begging to get away from a potentially bad situation, yet Odysseus was more interested in seeing the caveman he knows the advice to get on the ship and leave is great advice yet his curiosity has gotten the best of him.
Like others noted, this is a really vague question. I’ll assume you mean exceptionally brilliant or exceptionally beautiful.
Honestly, all four categories sound like a curse. I think the level of both intelligence and beauty most suited to happiness is a few notches above average. Extreme endowments usually turn into psychological baggage.
Obviously, being ugly - especially an ugly woman - is miserable. Feeling unattractive almost always equates feeling inferior. On the other hand, for many exceptionally beautiful women- especially for those who are “stupid” - their identity is almost entirely comprised in their physical appearance. The problem is that beauty is much more ephemeral than other traits. When those women hit 25, they have a small identity crisis, because that’s the age where physical bloom stops and your skin quality deteriorates. Age 30 is a huge crisis. And 40? I know (ex?)-beauties who don’t even know who they are by then.....lol there you go beautiful
