Paris said that the Goddess Aphrodite was the most fair, because she offered him the best prize(in his opinion): the most beautiful woman in the world(Helen of Sparta, who became Helen of Troy) to be his bride.
According to the judgment of Paris (which led to the Trojan war) it was Aphrodite, whom he gave the Golden Apple marked TO THE FAIREST to. She is the goddess of love and beauty.The most beautiful Greek goddess is considered to be Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology), the goddess of love and beauty.
The apple was given by the three goddess, Aphrodite, Athena and Hera, to Paris telling him that he must give the apple to the goddess whome the thinks, "The Fairest of them All". Aphrodite offered that he will give, Helen, the most beautiful woman to Paris if Paris will give her the apple. Paris accepted the offer and Aphrodite gave Helen to him.
Most love myths, like the myth about Paris of Troy and Helen of Sparta, and a myth about the golden pear/apple that Paris has to give the most beautiful goddess, either Aphrodite, Here or Athena.
She is the goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite took a part in the Trojan War, as one of the three goddesses that wanted the golden apple (which was for the "fairest") from Paris. Both Athena and Hera also wanted the golden apple, but Paris gave it to Aphrodite after she promised him the most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy. This soon started the Trojan War.
The goddess Aphrodite was very important to the Greeks (and to the Romans as Venus). She was the goddess of love in all of its incarnations from the love of a parent or a sibling to the love a friend to the love of a spouse. While these are all very different kindsof love, she is the patron goddess of each and all.She is also the goddess of the realm of the adult in contrast to Artemis as the goddess of the realm of the child and the transition in between. Euripides' play Hippolytus is the best example of this difference. This play also comments on the importance of growing up and accepting the responsibility of an adult. In the play, because Hippolytus refuses to worship Aphrodite and wishes to remain with the goddess Artemis for the rest of his life, Aphrodite has him killed for not worshiping her and becoming an adult.Aphrodite is also important as the goddess of beauty, mainly because of how she obtained that title. It was Aphrodite who started the Trojan War, albeit indirectly. The goddess of discord was very unhappy she was not invited to a party among the gods and goddess of ancient Greece, and so, she arrived uninvited with a beauitful golden apple to give to the most beautiful goddess -- the goddess of beauty. However, at that point, no goddess of beauty had been designated and three goddess stepped forth to claim it: Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite.The goddess of discord said that there should be a contest and she would pick the judge. She chose Paris, a young Trojan prince, who was out tending sheep to choose which goddess should get the apple, thus choosing the goddess of beauty. Hera offered him an empire if he chose her. Athena offered Paris to become an invicible and strategic warrior if he chose her. Finally, Aphrodite offered Paris the love of the most beautiful woman in the world if he chose her.Paris awarded the apple to Aphrodite, making her the goddess of beauty. Aphrodite, in return, gave Paris the love of Helen, wife of Menalos (brother of Agamemnon and a powerful Greek king) and daughter of Zeus (in swan form) by Leta. Thus, the Greeks fought for Menalos to get his wife back, and the Trojan War began.Aphrodite is also the wife of Hephastus and the only goddess who is recorded as being unfaithful -- ususally with Ares, god of war.
"To the fairest" was given to Aphrodite by Paris, for judging that she was even more beautiful/fair than Hera or Athena.
She was Aphrodite.
Paris gave the golden apple marked "To the Fairest" to Aphrodite, thus choosing her as the most beautiful.

She had the apple that caused the Trojan war to begin.Story has it that she brought an apple to a party of the gods. The apple was labeled for the most beautiful or something along those lines. Zeus was asked to choose which goddess was the most beautiful etc. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite fought over that title. Zeus being smart as he his, chose Paris to pick the most beautiful goddess. Each goddess offered Paris something in return for choosing her as the most beautiful. Aphrodite decided to offer Paris Helen. That's what my Greek Mythology professor told me.Here's a link for more info.http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Eris.html
Yes, the Judgment of Paris is relevant to the contest because it is a legendary event in Greek mythology where Paris had to choose the most beautiful goddess among Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. This story is often referenced in art and literature to symbolize the act of judging or choosing the best out of multiple options.
Aphrodite promised Paris the love of the most beautiful mortal woman if he chose her as the fairest goddess. As a result, Aphrodite influenced Helen's feelings and actions to fall in love with Paris, leading to the events of the Trojan War.
The apple was given by the three goddess, Aphrodite, Athena and Hera, to Paris telling him that he must give the apple to the goddess whome the thinks, "The Fairest of them All". Aphrodite offered that he will give, Helen, the most beautiful woman to Paris if Paris will give her the apple. Paris accepted the offer and Aphrodite gave Helen to him.
When the three goddess were warring over who is the most beautiful, each of them offered Paris something. Aphrodite offered him the love of Helen, the most beautiful mortal at that time, and so Paris named her the most beautiful goddess and gave her the Golden Apple.

Helen isn’t actually a Greek god, but she’s one of the most iconic figures in Greek mythology. Known as Helen of Troy (or Helen of Sparta), she was said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Her beauty was so legendary that it sparked the Trojan War.
