Why is Athena important in the Trojan war?
when eris wasn't invited to a wedding she threw a golden apple to the goddess that includes Athena Aphrodite and persephone it was mean't to be for the fairest all the goddesses fought for the apple thus causing the war
Why did Eris throw a golden apple labeled for the fairest into the wedding crowd?
Eris, the goddess of discord, threw a golden apple labeled "For the Fairest" into the wedding of Peleus and Thetis to instigate conflict among the goddesses. This act led to a competition between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, each claiming the apple for herself. The dispute ultimately resulted in the Judgment of Paris, which set off a chain of events culminating in the Trojan War. Eris's action epitomized her role as a bringer of chaos and strife among both mortals and deities.
What did the message on the apple say in the Trojan war?
The apple of discord that Eris threw at the wedding feast before the Trojan War was marked 'To the Fairest'. Of course, all the goddesses thought it was for them and tried to grab it. This led to Paris' judgement. He gave the apple to Aphrodite because she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world for his wife. When Paris kidnapped Helen, it led to the Trojan War.
Why were the gods involved in the Trojan war?
Because Eris made trouble at the banquet where she was not invited, and so threw a golden apple marked TO THE FAIREST. The goddessed all clamored to get the apple that Zeus finally had to intervene. The choice was finally narrowed down to 3: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Paris of Troy judged the 3 goddessed not by their physical attributes but by the gifts they offered him. When Paris chose Aphrodite and handed the apple to her, the other 2 were enraged and thus sided with the Greeks when Aphrodite sided with the Trojans.
