The greek godesses; Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Piqued their interest to a golden apple which was delivered to Peleus and Thetis' wedding. The golden apple was from Eris, the god of discord who wasn't invited to the banquet. She sent the golden apple with a letter saying, " To the most beautiful woman" Hera, Athena and Aphrodite claimed to be the recipient of the golden apple. It cause chaos so they asked Zeus, god of all gods, husband of Hera, father of Athena and Aphodite. Zeus refused the tasked and asked Hermes to bring the golden apple to Paris of Troy for him to make the decision. Paris was known for giving reward without hesitation. As Paris arrived, the three women get naked for Paris one by one to see who really is the most beautiful. Of course, there's a bribery happens. Hera offers a country and star. Athena offers wisdom and skill in battles while Aphrodite offers the most beautiful woman in the Earth, Helen of Sparta. They got so much to bribe just for a golden apple, right? Going back to the story, Paris of Troy chose Aphrodite's offer which is Helen of Sparta. Aprodite won the little battle they have and received the golden apple. Meanwhile, Paris a guy who chose a girl over a country, star, wisdom and skill in battle got himself into a war. He didn't know that his reward, the most beautiful woman in the Earth was married to Menelaus, the King of Sparta. And that resulted the Trojan War.
