Uninvited, Eris, staying true to her being the goddess of discord, comes up with a plan to ruin the joyous event by throwing into the venue a golden apple with the inscription "For the fairest."

Paris chooses Aphrodite, much to the dismay of the two other deities. It was, after all, the goddess of love and beauty herself promising him the most beautiful woman on earth, Helen of Sparta, for his wife.</description>
