Greek World - The Iliad 

Part 1. 

The story begins with the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, to which all the gods were invited except Eris, the goddess of discord. Feeling snubbed, Eris threw a golden apple into the celebration, inscribed with “To the fairest.” This act ignited a vanity-fueled dispute among three goddesses: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, each claiming the apple as her own.

Unable to settle the dispute themselves, the goddesses turned to Zeus for a decision. Zeus, wisely not wanting to involve himself in such a contentious judgment, appointed Paris, a prince of Troy known for his fairness, as the judge in this divine beauty contest.

The goddesses, each desiring to win, offered Paris bribes. Hera promised him power over all men; Athena offered wisdom and skill in war; Aphrodite, the goddess of love, promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, despite her being already married to King Menelaus of Sparta, a part of the Mycenaean Empire.

Swayed by Aphrodite’s offer, Paris awarded the golden apple to her, thereby setting in motion the events that would lead to the Trojan War. Paris’s subsequent abduction (or, in some versions, elopement) with Helen not only incited Menelaus but also violated xenia, the sacred law of hospitality, prompting the Achaeans (Mycenaeans and their allies) to launch a massive expedition against Troy, seeking to retrieve Helen and restore their honor, thus igniting one of the most legendary conflicts in mythology and literature.
