When the Golden Apple caused discord among the goddesses, a young man (Paris) from Troy was asked to pick between the three goddesses. Athena offered him eternal wisdom, and Hera offered him to be king of many countries. However, Paris chose Aphrodite because she offered him the most beautiful woman ever -- namely, Helen of Sparta. Paris stole Helen away in the night from her husband and sailed to Troy, then proceeding to ra -- make love with her. However, the king of Sparta found out and started the Trojan War. This is also why Helen is connected to "The face that launched a thousand ships".
