    Wedding of King Pelius and Thetis

    Zeus was very much in love with Thetis but in order to avoid getting dethroned by their son Zeus arranged a marriage for Peleus and Thetis which would later on have a son Achilles. Peleus had no complaint and agreed to the arrangement however, Thetis refused him. The wedding took place on Mount Pelion. Eris, the goddess of discord, had not been invited. For spite she threw a golden apple into the midst of the goddesses: Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena that was to be awarded only "to the fairest."

    Judgment of Paris

    This was a contest between the three most beautiful goddesses of Olympos: Aphrodite, Hera, Athena for the prize of the golden apple addressed "to the fairest." All of this began in the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Zeus was asked to mediate so he commanded Hermes to lead the goddesses to Paris of Troy to decide. Each goddess offered a gift to the shepherd prince for favour. Aphrodite was chosen because she promised him the most beautiful woman Helen as his wife.
