Beowulf and Achilles were heroes, not gods, so they were ordinary human males, presumably athletic and scarred.
Gilgamesh was only two thirds god.
***begin quote.
Young Gilgamesh, who was born two-thirds god and one-third human and who was the “most handsome” of men. Yet with the energy of a “wild bull,” he oppresses his subjects so relentlessly that they cry out to the gods for help.
***end quote.
Other sites I looked at roughly agreed with this description of an arrogant, despotic but very handsome God-King. None of them mentioned what he looked like.

Achilles:
He was the son of a water nymph, who bathed him in a holy river only holding him by the heel. That's how he became invincible. In the Trojan War he lost his life, because during a duell his enemy got a vision from the gods the night before, where he was told to throw a spear in the left heel of Achilles ( That's one version of many ). He wasn't turned to a god though. Hercules was turned to a god on the other hand.

Achilles was no God. Achilles was dipped into the river Styx, which gives whoever the power to be invulnerable to attack. However his mother didn't get all of Achilles and left out his ankle.

Achilles was never a god. According to mythology he was a warrior with amazing skills supposedly blessed by the gods.
