Judgement of Paris

The Judgement of Paris is a story from Greek mythology that led to the Trojan War. Eris, the goddess of discord, threw a golden apple into the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, sparking a dispute among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, who claimed the apple as the fairest. Zeus sent Paris, a Trojan mortal, to judge the dispute, and after bribes from each goddess, Paris chose Aphrodite, who promised him the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen of Sparta, wife of Menelaus. Paris carried Helen off to Troy, leading the Greeks to invade and sparking the Trojan War.learn more on wikipedia
