1 янв 1223 г. до нашей эры - Judgement of Paris

Описание:

Zeus held a banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, and Thetis. However, Eris, goddess of discord was not invited, for it was believed she would have made the party unpleasant for everyone. Angered by this snub, Eris arrived at the celebration with a golden apple from the Garden of the Hesperides, which she threw into the proceedings as a prize of beauty. Three goddesses claimed the apple: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. They asked Zeus to judge which of them was fairest, and eventually he, reluctant to favor any claim himself, declared that Paris, a Trojan mortal, would judge their cases. Aphrodite was chosen, having offered the world's most beautiful woman as a reward.
