Best Answer

Helen was given to Paris as a gift by Aphrodite. In "The Judgement of Paris" he is instructed by Zeus to give a golden apple to the fairest goddess. The apple was inscribed "to the fairest" and was thrown on the table at a banquet by Eris when she was not invited. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all claim the apple. Each of the three goddesses attempts to bribe Paris with gifts in exchange for the apple. Hera promises to make him powerful; Athena promises to make him wise; Aphrodite promises the most beautiful woman in the world - Helen of Troy.

Aphrodite gave Helen to Paris, so I've always assumed she used here golden apple to make Helen fall in love with Paris. But, some people apparently think Cupid shot his arrow into Helen making her fall for Paris.
