    Paris was tasked with judging which goddess - Juno, Minerva, or Venus - was the fairest. Each goddess offered Paris gifts if he chose them. Juno offered to make Paris a king. Minerva offered to make him a leader. But Venus promised Paris the most beautiful woman, Helen. Paris chose Venus and awarded her the golden apple. This led to Helen being captured by Paris and taken back to Troy, which sparked the Trojan War over her.

    The Judgment of Paris


    The goddess of discord who alone was not called to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis was moved by
    anger. Therefore she threw a golden apple to gods’ palace, these words was written on it: “FOR THE
    FAIREST”. Who should get the apple? Iuno, Venus or Minerva? Even Jupiter himself feared to make a
    decision! Therefore those goddesses came to Paris, the son of Troy.

    “Dear boy” they said, “which of us is the most fair in your opinion? Many gifts will be provided to you by
    the goddess you choose.” Who will Paris choose? What gift will move his mind? Juno can make him a
    king, Minerva can make him a leader. But Venus can give him Helen the most beautiful one of all
    women.

    Paris’s love comes to a victory and he gave the golden apple to Venus. Although, (if the report of these
    facts is true) Helen is captured and led to a new place, Troy. What war was Was the war waged because
    of that woman?
