The exact answer is Zeus. It was Zeus who wanted to couple with Thetis, but was warned by Prometheus that she would bear a son that would be greater than his father. Fearing for his throne, Zeus gave Thetis up to Peleus, one of the Argonauts. It was at the wedding of Thetis and Peleus that the Eris threw the golden apple.

Zeus also selected the judge of who would win the Golden Apple: Paris of Troy. In doing so, he set in motion the wheels that allowed Paris to take Helen as his bride (for giving the apple to Aphrodite, she promised him the hand of the most beautiful woman in the world in marriage).

So despite thinking it was Paris' fault, or Aphrodite's fault, or even Eris' fault, in the end, it was really Zeus' fault.
