324-471: The apple. They started a quarrel so they asked Zeus to choose one of them. Knowing that choosing any of them would bring him the hatred of the other two, Zeus did not want to take part in the decision. He thus appointed Paris to select the most beautiful. Escorted by Hermes , the three goddesses bathed in the spring of Mount Ida and approached Paris as he herded his cattle. Having been given permission by Zeus to set any conditions he saw fit, Paris required that

351-421: The child still alive and brought him home in a backpack ( Greek pḗra , hence by folk etymology Paris's name) to rear as his own. He returned to Priam bearing a dog's tongue as evidence of the deed's completion. Paris's noble birth was betrayed by his outstanding beauty and intelligence. While still a child, he routed a gang of cattle-thieves and restored the animals they had stolen to the herd, thereby earning

378-416: The child, despite the urging of the priestess of Apollo , one Herophile . Instead, Paris's father prevailed upon his chief herdsman, Agelaus , to remove the child and kill him.

Returning after nine days, Agelaus was astonished to find

Paris's second attempt at combat is equally fated: rather than engage

He also painted such vessels as figure-shaped vases or head-shaped kantharoi . Even as

459-450: The goddess of strife (no one wanted a troublemaker at a wedding). For revenge, Eris threw the golden Apple of Discord inscribed with "For the most beautiful" ( Ancient Greek : τῇ καλλίστῃ , romanized :  tē(i) kallistē(i) ) into the party, provoking a squabble among the attendant goddesses over for whom it had been meant. The goddesses thought to be the most beautiful were Hera , Athena , and Aphrodite , and each one claimed

486-399: The goddesses undress before him (alternatively, the goddesses themselves chose to disrobe to show all their beauty).

Athena offered skill in battle, wisdom and the abilities of the greatest warriors. Aphrodite offered

513-455: The love of the most beautiful woman on Earth: Helen of Sparta. Paris chose Helen and thereby Aphrodite. Helen was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta (a fact Aphrodite neglected to mention), so Paris had to raid Menelaus's house to steal Helen from him—according to some accounts, she fell in love with Paris and left willingly.

It is hard to distinguish him and associated painters from

Helen returns alone to Troy, where Paris dies later the same day. In another version, Paris himself, in great pain, visits Oenone to plead for healing but is refused and dies on the mountainside. When Oenone hears of his funeral, she runs to his funeral pyre and throws herself in its fire. After Paris's death, his brother Deiphobus married Helen and

The Eretria Painter's drawing style influenced later artists, e.g.

648-459: The whole of Greece moved against Troy in force and the Trojan War began. Homer's Iliad casts Paris as unskilled and cowardly. Although Paris readily admits his shortcomings in battle, his brother Hector scolds and belittles him after he runs away from a duel with Menelaus that was to determine the end of the war. His preference for bow and arrow emphasizes this, since he does not follow

729-470: Was wounded, he should come to her, for she could heal any injury, even the most serious wounds. Paris's chief distraction at this time was to pit Agelaus's bulls against one another. One bull began to win these bouts consistently. Paris began to set it against rival herdsmen's own prize bulls and it defeated them all. Finally, Paris offered a golden crown to any bull that could defeat his champion. Ares responded to this challenge by transforming himself into
