Eris went anyway but did not bring a wedding gift. When she was stopped at the door by Hermes, she became outraged and threw a golden apple in the room.

“To the Fairest” The golden apple was inscribed, “to the fairest.” Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all claimed the apple. Zeus made Paris decide who would get the apple. The goddesses all tried to bribe him. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite who offered him the love of the world’s most beautiful woman.

Paris Aided by Aphrodite Paris chose love over wisdom, skill in battle, and political power. He awarded the apple to Aphrodite. When on a diplomatic mission to Sparta, he met and fell in love with Helen, the most beautiful woman alive.
