The "Judgment of Paris" is a famous myth from ancient Greek mythology. It tells the story of a contest among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite to determine who was the fairest. The mortal prince Paris of Troy was chosen to judge the competition. Each goddess offered him a bribe: Hera promised power, Athena promised wisdom, and Aphrodite promised the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen. Paris ultimately chose Aphrodite as the winner, leading to significant consequences. His decision sparked the events that triggered the Trojan War, a legendary conflict between the city of Troy and the Greek states. The story highlights themes of beauty, desire, and the impact of choices.
