Presentation transcript:

He judged… …Not the other way around The Judgment of Paris He judged… …Not the other way around

Characters Eris: Goddess of discord (disagreements) Aphrodite: Goddess of love/beauty (Trojan) Hera: Goddess of family/childbirth (Greek) Athena: Goddess of wisdom/battle strategy (Greek) Paris: A Trojan Prince Helen: Wife of Menelaus, ½ mortal daughter of Zeus, “The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships” Menelaus: King of Sparta (Greek city-state)

Myth Eris snubbed at marriage of Thetis and Peleus Golden apple: “To The Fairest” Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera claim it Paris is asked to decide (judge) Each goddess offers bribes Chooses Aphrodite’s (Most beautiful woman, Helen) She transports him to Menelaus’ estate Treated as a guest Menelaus leaves Paris takes (a willing) Helen to Troy Trojan War All Greeks help Menelaus retrieve Helen (oath) Athena and Hera help the Greeks (Achaians)

Archetypes The Temptress(es) The Unfaithful Wife Aphrodite, Athena, Hera, Eris, Helen The Unfaithful Wife Helen Battle Between Good and Evil Paris abused hospitality, making him and his cause morally wrong (doomed from the start) Hospitality = reciprocity = peace Scapegoat Paris responsible for war/judgment

Themes/Greek Culture Hospitality is the foundation of society; if it is abused, society will be in a tumult. The gods/goddesses were seen more like very powerful humans (good traits but unpredictable). They don’t always act in humankind’s interest All the more reason to worship them!! Even if it’s illogical.
