Paris gave the golden apple marked "To the Fairest" to Aphrodite, thus choosing her as the most beautiful.
You may be talking about when Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite asked Zeus to judge which of them looked best. Zeus, being a god and knowing better than to answer this question, passed it on to Paris, a mortal from Troy. They all bribed him, and Paris chose Aphrodite and her gift- the love of the world's most beautiful woman, Helen of Sparta. This was the precursor to the Trojan war, which really is an interesting story even if it isn't what you're looking for.
she thinks she is the most beautiful goddess
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.
Paris chose Aphrodite to give him the most beautiful woman in the world, over Hera and her golden apples. Aphrodite stole Helen, Tyndarius (Sparta's king) was Helen's father, and he got his Greek allies together for revnge
In Roman Mythology, Hera is known as Juno. Goddess of Marriage, Women and Childbirth. Hera (Juno) can be resembled as a Cow or a Peacock. Hera was known for her jealous and vengeful nature, most notably against Zeus's lovers and offspring, but also against mortals who crossed her, such as Pelias. Paris offended her by choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess, earning Hera's hatred.
She was Aphrodite.
Paris was best known for choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful (out of Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena). He received the love of Helen as a reward, though this basically started the Trojan war.
Aphrodite promised Paris the love of the most beautiful mortal woman if he chose her as the fairest goddess. As a result, Aphrodite influenced Helen's feelings and actions to fall in love with Paris, leading to the events of the Trojan War.
She had the apple that caused the Trojan war to begin.Story has it that she brought an apple to a party of the gods. The apple was labeled for the most beautiful or something along those lines. Zeus was asked to choose which goddess was the most beautiful etc. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite fought over that title. Zeus being smart as he his, chose Paris to pick the most beautiful goddess. Each goddess offered Paris something in return for choosing her as the most beautiful. Aphrodite decided to offer Paris Helen. That's what my Greek Mythology professor told me.Here's a link for more info.http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Eris.html
According to the judgment of Paris (which led to the Trojan war) it was Aphrodite, whom he gave the Golden Apple marked TO THE FAIREST to. She is the goddess of love and beauty.The most beautiful Greek goddess is considered to be Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology), the goddess of love and beauty.
Paris said that the Goddess Aphrodite was the most fair, because she offered him the best prize(in his opinion): the most beautiful woman in the world(Helen of Sparta, who became Helen of Troy) to be his bride.
"To the fairest" was given to Aphrodite by Paris, for judging that she was even more beautiful/fair than Hera or Athena.
When the three goddess were warring over who is the most beautiful, each of them offered Paris something. Aphrodite offered him the love of Helen, the most beautiful mortal at that time, and so Paris named her the most beautiful goddess and gave her the Golden Apple.
So there was a contest between Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera to see who was the most beautiful. The judge, Paris chose Aphrodite because she offered him the most beautiful woman in the world. Her name was Helen and she was married to Menelaus the king of Sparta. So the goddess of love, Aphrodite, stole Helen for Paris. Helen's husband was mad and they started the Trojan war. Hope I helped you:)
The three bribes offered to Paris in Greek mythology were power, wealth, and love. The goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each offered Paris a bribe to win his favor in a contest to determine the most beautiful goddess. Paris ultimately chose Aphrodite's bribe of love, leading to the events that sparked the Trojan War.
The daughter of Zeus and Hera was Eris, the goddess of discord. She wasn't invited to a wedding so she brought a golden apple and said it was for the fairest goddess. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena argued over it and asked Paris to make the decision. Paris chose Aphrodite because she promised he could marry the most beautiful girl in the world. He chose Helen but her husband didn't like the idea and the war started.
She is the goddess of love and has a son (roman equivalent:Cupid) called eros who shoots arrows at the people he wants to fall in love! In the story of Troy Paris chose Aphrodite as the most beautiful so she got Eros to shoot an arrow at Helen of Sparta so she ran away with Paris!
