She threw the golden apple marked to the fairest?
In the test of the golden apple it was Paris who decided the contest and he was a male aka he not she. Paris, threw the golden apple to Aphrodite because she promised to give him Helena of Troy
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
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.
In Norse mythology what is the golden apples?
The tree of golden apples was a wedding present from Zeus to Hera. They were guarded by many creatures in different myths and one hero had a quest to steal one.No it's this. During a festivity, which is the wedding of the parents of Achilles, Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited. She got mad, so she gatecrashed the party and threw a golden apple with the inscription, "to the fairest". Three goddesses claimed the apple. These are Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. They cannot decide who the fairest of them three is, so they appointed a Trojan prince by the name of Paris to judge who is the fairest of the three goddesses. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all tries to bribe Paris with different things. Hera offered Paris to be the king of Europe and Asia. Athena offered to give him wisdom and skills to triumph in all wars. Aphrodite offered him the love of the most beautiful woman, Helen of Sparta, who is the wife of the Greek king Menelaus. Paris chose Aphrodite, and it ignited the Trojan War._____________________________________________________________Actually these are both Greek myths but as the question refers to 'apples' not 'apple' I would presume is is referring to the first story.
