Apple of Discord Eris, goddess of Discord, wasn't invited to the wedding of Thetis and Peleus, because of her nature. Eris become really mad because of it, so she decided to take revenge on the gods of Olimpus. So she came in the middle of feast of the gods, and put on the table a golden apple with an inscription in it; "To the Fairest". Athena, Aphrodite and Hera reclamed the golden apple, and told Zeus to decide which one of the goddess deserved the apple. Zeus couldn't decide, because it wouldn't be fair, so he claimed Paris, a Trojan mortal, to be the jugde. Athena offered him the power to win every war, Hera offered him to have a special place in the Olimpus, but Aphrodite offered him the love of the more beautiful woman in the world, so he said she deserved the apple. So the goddess of love and beauty kidnaps Helen of Sparta for the mortal man. And that's how start the Trojan War.
