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.
