Meanwhile, the wrangling Goddesses went and found some lunkhead named Paris to judge who should get the Apple. Demonstrating a real lack of self-confidence in the pretty department, which makes no sense, they all three being immortal inhumanly beautiful Goddesses, and shows the influence of Eris was still in play, each went to him before the judging and offered him a bribe. Hera offered riches and power, Athena offered victories in war, and Aphrodite offered the most beautiful woman on Earth. Okay, one guess which the moron picked. You got it - the woman. Never mind the fact that had he accepted either of the other two bribes, he could have had all the women he wanted. If only people would just think before they made wishes, we'd all be a lot happier, I mean really...

*slap*

Sorry. I'll get on with it.

So anyway, Paris picked Aphrodite and she arranged to have Helen, the Queen of Troy and Most Beautiful Woman on Earth, Whose Face Launched Many Capital Letters, delivered to Paris in a lovely gift box. The Trojans, who were likewise sort of touchy, wanted their queen back, and the Greeks told them to buzz off. This was the beginning of the First War Among Men, which we now know as the Trojan War.
