Aphrodite challenged Athena to a weaving contest as part of a broader narrative involving the Trojan War. The challenge stemmed from a competition among the three goddesses—Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera—over who was the fairest, which was initiated by Paris, a Trojan prince. Aphrodite promised Paris the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen, if he chose her, leading to the contest with Athena, who was known for her exceptional skills in weaving. This rivalry ultimately contributed to the events that sparked the war between the Greeks and Trojans.
