The Judgment of Paris
Discord/Eris was not invited to Peleus and Thetis's marriage but most of the gods were, so she was angry and dropped a golden apple in the banqueting hall and it said 'For the Fairest'. It came down to 3 gods: Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. They asked Zeus to judge, but he refused. He recommended Paris or Alexandros, for he was a great judge of beauty. Paris was a prince, son of Priam, the king of Troy. He was tending his father's sheep all the way on Mount Ida because Priam had been warned that he would become the ruin of his country, so he was sent away. He had been living with a nymph named Oenone there.(She will be important when Paris is about to die.)
He wasn't asked who was the fairest, but was piled on with bribes from the godesses. It was not easy. Hera offered to make him the lord of Europe and Asia, Athena offered to lead him to victory against the Greeks and lay Greece in ruins, Aphrodite offered him the fairest woman in the world. Paris a weakling and coward, as later events show, gave Aphrodite the golden apple. This is the real reason the Trojan War was fought.
