Eris the goddess of strife wasnt invited to a party so she left an golden apple "for the fairest" and Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera began to fight over who it was meant for.So Zeus chose the mortal Paris the prince of Troy to decide between them; Athena offered fighting skills and wisdom, Hera offered him control over Asia, Aphrodite offered him Helen of Sparta, the wife of the king of Sparta. Even tough Helen was married, Paris chose her. The king of Sparta was enraged so he invaded Troy so he could get her back.
