What were the golden apples in Greek myth?
There are multiple different myths to do with golden apples: 1. Atalanta and Hippomenes Atalanta was a huntress who promised to marry the man that would win a foot race against her, knowing that she would be the faster. Hippomenes was in love with her and asked Aphrodite for advice: she gave him three golden apples. During the race between Hippomenes and Atalanta, Hippomenes threw the three apples one at the time for Atalanta to pick up, slowing her down. He won the race and married her. 2. Judgment of Paris Eris (the goddess of discord) wasn't invited to the wedding banquet of Peleus and Thetis. She decided to throw a golden apple into the feast with the inscription "for the most beautiful". Three goddesses laid claim on the apple: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Zeus let Paris of Troy decide between them. The goddesses each promised Paris something if he gave them the apple, and finally chose Aphrodite. She promised him the most beautiful woman as his wife, which was Helen of Troy. This eventually led to the Trojan War. 3. The Apples of the Hesperides One of Heracles/Hercules' labours was to fetch the golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides (daughters of Atlas), which was guarded by a never-sleeping dragon. Heracles persuaded Atlas to fetch the apples.
