In Greek mythology, the promises made to Paris stem from the famous judgment of Paris, where he was tasked with choosing the fairest goddess among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Each goddess offered him a tempting bribe: Hera promised power, Athena promised wisdom and military prowess, and Aphrodite promised the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen. Paris ultimately chose Aphrodite, leading to the events that sparked the Trojan War. This choice highlights themes of desire, beauty, and the consequences of one's decisions in mythological narratives.
