Exercise: Volunteers Need 4 Girls and One Boy“Retelling of the Judgment of Paris”

There was much feasting at the wedding of Peleus, king of Phthia, and Thetis, a sea goddess who would bear a son, Achilles.

Everyone was happy and celebrating. Athena, Hera and Aphrodite were at the feast and amicably conversing when a golden apple rolled at their feet.

Peleus picked it up and was embarrassed to find that it was inscribed to the fairest. No one knew for which goddess the apple was intended.The golden apple had actually been tossed by Eris, who was angry that she had not been invited to the feast.

Zeus was asked to award the apple to the fairest goddess, but he tactfully declined and assigned Paris, one of the Princes of Troy (Priam’s second son) the unwelcome task.

Each goddess desired to be known as the most beautiful, and competed aggressively for the apple. Each goddess willingly disrobed so that Paris could see that she was fairest.

Paris first examined Hera who promised him all of Asia and great wealth if he would choose her. Paris refused the bribe

He next examined Athena who promised to make Paris victorious in all battles. She also promised to make him the most handsome and wise man in the world. Paris also refused this offer.

Finally, Aphrodite promised that she could offer Paris Helen, the wife of Menalaos (King of Sparta and Agamemnon’s brother) and the most beautiful mortal woman in the world, to become Paris bride. After Aphrodite swore that she could make Helen fall in love with him, Paris awarded her the apple.

This decision so angered Hera and Athena that they plotted the destruction of Troy. Aphrodite, long before this event, had doomed Helen and her sisters because their father, Tyndareus, had sacrificed to the other gods but had forgotten to offer a sacrifice to her. Aphrodite, therefore, swore to make his daughters known for adultery. Of course, Aphrodite approved Paris decision. Later Paris, following Aphrodites instruction, visited Menalaos as a friend but eloped with Helen. The Greeks came to Troy to regain Helen and Menalaos honor.
