When Palamon first sees Emily, he blanches and falls madly in love. After being locked in a cell for such a long time with only his friend as company he has not seen a woman for ages. Being so crazed, he cannot belive his eyes, and calls this lady a goddess. However, when Arcite saw her, he must have been more in his senses than his friend.
This lady could be the most beautiful woman in the world, she could also be a normal lady. Like tasting your first meat after weeks of eating nothing but crackers, or seeing color for the first time after living in a gray room. This would explain why Palamon first thought she was a goddess.
Later, Palamon leaves the prison and now loves the woman still, as a woman, not goddess, because he has been exposed to more of real life than just the inside of that cell.
Overall, they do love her equally, despite the fact Palamon first thought her a goddess.
