Zeus gave Paris the honor of choosing between the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite because he wanted to avoid a conflict among them. The goddesses were quarreling over who was the fairest, and Zeus sought a neutral party to decide the matter. Paris, a mortal prince of Troy, was chosen due to a prophecy that indicated he would make the choice, ultimately leading to the events that sparked the Trojan War. This decision set in motion a series of events that would have significant consequences for both the divine and mortal realms.
