The golden apple thrown in at the marriage of Peleus and Thetis
Eris the uninvited goddess of discord came to seek revenge
Throwing the golden apple from the garden of Hesperides
The challenge to the fairest of all, the vanity of the goddesses
Paris is offered Helen of Sparta as a bribe bribed to select Aphrodite as the fairest
But Helen was the wife of Menelaus, king of Troy, thus the Trojan war started
