That picture above reminds of that story in Norse mythology where someone has to choose to marry a God based entirely on their feet and she goes for the cleanest, prettiest ones thinking they will be the most handsome God but they turn out to belong to the sea God cos his feet are in the water the whole time.
This;
While the gods were celebrating their slaying of the
giant Thjazi and the return of the youth-giving goddess
Idun to their halls, an unannounced visitor stormed into their merrymaking.
This was the giantess
Skadi, who had arrived with armor and weapons to avenge the death of Thjazi, her father. The gods were patient with her, and convinced her to accept reparations instead of seeking vengeance.
These reparations came in three parts. First,
Odin took Thjazi’s eyes and ceremoniously cast them into the night sky, where they became two stars.
Second, the gods were to make Skadi laugh. After many feats were tried, none succeeded in bringing a smile to the grim face of the giantess. At last,
Loki tied one end of a rope to a goat and the other end around his testicles and began a game of tug of war with the goat. Each screeched and howled in turn, until at last Loki fell over into Skadi’s lap. The giantess couldn’t help but chuckle.
Third, Skadi was to be given a god of her choosing in marriage, but she was to select him by the sight of his legs and feet alone. She picked the fairest pair of legs she could see, thinking them to be those of
Baldur. However, as it turned out, they were those of the sea-god
Njord.
