The apple of discord that Eris threw at the wedding feast before the Trojan War was marked 'To the Fairest'. Of course, all the goddesses thought it was for them and tried to grab it. This led to Paris' judgement. He gave the apple to Aphrodite because she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world for his wife. When Paris kidnapped Helen, it led to the Trojan War.
