In the myth of Paris and Queen Helen, the goddesses are portrayed as powerful figures who influence human fate and relationships. Specifically, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, promises Paris the love of Helen in exchange for a golden apple, showcasing her allure and ability to manipulate desire. Conversely, Hera and Athena, who also vie for the title of the fairest, represent jealousy and rivalry, highlighting the competitive nature of divine beings. This interplay among the goddesses ultimately triggers the events leading to the Trojan War, emphasizing their significant impact on mortal lives.
