Who were the three goddesses that competed for the golden apple at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis?
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were the 3 goddesses competing for Paris' golden apple and to see who is the fairest of the 3 goddesses. Paris chose Aphrodite and gave her the golden apple.
What is the theme of Paris and the golden apple?
The golden apple was supposed to be given to 'the fairest'. Three goddesses claimed to be the fairest: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Zeus told Paris to be the judge. Each of the goddesses tried to bribe Paris. Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman on earth, Helen. So Paris gave Aphrodite the apple, and Aphrodite helprd him to abduct Helen, from Sparta to Troy.
Who gave the golden apple to Paris?
First off, the golden apple was given to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love. Secondly, to answer the original question, the apple was given to Aphrodite by Eris, the goddess of Strife, who was enraged because nobody invited her to a party with the rest of the gods because of, well, her specialty, so she decided to do what she did best, and rolled the apple to the three major goddesses. The apple said "to the fairest" on it, and, of course, the goddesses argued over it. Paris was then sent there to judge, as he was renowned for his unbiased decisions, and his strength of character.
Who was Eris and why was she important to the Trojan War?
some stories say she caused it..there was a meetin for the gods and goddesses and she was not invited..so she threw a golden apple into the room with the words "the fairest"and so the three the gods and goddesses agreed upon was Hera Athena and Aphrodite..but the gods and goddesses couldn't pick so Hera, Athena and Aphrodite made Paris decide...because Eris threw the apple that's why they say she caused it and is so important
What was the Greek goddess Aphrodite's role?
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.
