when an anonymous apple found on Olympus, the most powerful of all the goddesses Hera Athena and Aphrodite claimed ownership for there was writing "to the most beautiful" on it. three of them had long arguments on who was the most beautiful and who was going to get the it. not solving by themselves they decided to ask Zeus, the god of all gods and goddesses, father of Athena, brother of Aphrodite, husband of Hera, to decide. he didn't like the idea to be the referee for choosing the most beautiful, since he knows whoever he chooses, he will going to have problems with the other two. so, clever enough, he assigned the prince of Troy, Paris, to be the referee.
the goddesses was so keen on being the one so they bribed Paris, with their special divine powers. Hera offered political power for future, Athena offered great victories for the armies of troy, Aphrodite offered a great passionate love.
Paris at that times was living alone in the wild and away from civilization, alone and looking for the woman of his life... there he has chosen Aphrodite to be the most beautiful
so Aphrodite gave him what she had offered, the love of Helen,
but Athena and Hera was so angry
all of those was the start of Ilias, where the great nation Troy was going to be defeated and erased...
