Well basically that is the cause for the Trojan War. At the “marriage” of the changing sea animal Hera and the human king Peleus. They slipped to invite the goddess of discord, Eris. So she was named the first official Goddess Gate-Crasher. As a result Eris busted up in there and throws a little golden apple into the middle of the gathering. With the message 'To the fairest' written on it. Well of course the note was written to the prettiest goddesses. After everyone thought this through Zeus appointed the most handsome god Paris to be the judge on who is the most attractive goddess. So then Paris desides he is going to pick the one that’s all ready married. What would you do if your wife ran off with some prince? START A WAR!
