  1. The Judgment of Paris Read the first part of the story. Then watch the video “Troy Story” to see how it all pans out.

  4. Eris was furious at being excluded and decided to throw her golden apple at the place of the wedding. 

  5. The golden apple of Eris, however, was not a golden apple of love, like those of other goddesses, but one of discord. A fight or argument always broke out when it was thrown at a group of people.

  7. Zeus put an end to their quarrel by asking Hermes to bring them to Paris, a Trojan shepherd.  He was asked to decide which of the three goddesses was the most beautiful.
