“Retelling of the
Judgment of Paris”
There was much feasting at the wedding
of Peleus, king of Phthia, and Thetis, a
sea goddess who would bear a son,
Achilles.
Everyone was happy and celebrating.
Athena, Hera and Aphrodite were at the
feast and amicably conversing when a
golden apple rolled at their feet.
Peleus picked it up and was
embarrassed to find that it was inscribed
to the fairest. No one knew for which
goddess the apple was intended.The
golden apple had actually been tossed
by Eris, who was angry that she had not
been invited to the feast.
Zeus was asked to award the apple to
the fairest goddess, but he tactfully
declined and assigned Paris, one of the
Princes of Troy (Priam’s second son) the
unwelcome task.
Each goddess desired to be known as the most
beautiful, and competed aggressively for the
apple. Each goddess willingly disrobed so that
Paris could see that she was fairest.
Paris first examined Hera who promised him all
of Asia and great wealth if he would choose
her. Paris refused the bribe
He next examined Athena who promised to
make Paris victorious in all battles. She also
promised to make him the most handsome and
wise man in the world. Paris also refused this
offer.
Finally, Aphrodite promised that she could offer Paris Helen, the wife of Menalaos (King of
Sparta and Agamemnon’s brother) and the most beautiful mortal woman in the world, to
become Paris bride. After Aphrodite swore that she could make Helen fall in love with him,
Paris awarded her the apple.
This decision so angered Hera and Athena that they plotted the destruction of Troy.
Aphrodite, long before this event, had doomed Helen and her sisters because their father,
Tyndareus, had sacrificed to the other gods but had forgotten to offer a sacrifice to her.
Aphrodite, therefore, swore to make his daughters known for adultery. Of course,
Aphrodite approved Paris decision. Later Paris, following Aphrodites instruction, visited
Menalaos as a friend but eloped with Helen. The Greeks came to Troy to regain Helen and
Menalaos honor.
