The Judgement Paris

As soon as Thetis' husband was discovered, Zeus decided to celebrate Thetis and Peleus' union with a lavish feast, which marked the start of the Trojan War. Three goddesses (Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera) got into a fight over a golden apple, commonly referred to as the Apple of Discord, and that's how the battle got started. All of this occurred during Peleus and Thetis' wedding, to which Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, was not invited. After being rejected, she flung a golden apple among the deities present "to the loveliest" in revenge. Each goddess presents him with enticing prizes to make his decision easier. In other words, these alluring incentives included long-lasting jobs, unparalleled abilities, absolute control over Paris, and the most stunning lady as his wife.

While Athena gave him knowledge and warlike agility, Hera would bestow upon him all governmental authority and sovereignty over all of Asia. The most stunning lady in the world, Helen of Sparta, and her love for Paris were promised to him by Aphrodite when she outwitted them. He cannot resist the proposition she presents to him. Aphrodite is given the apple, the prettiest of all, and Paris quickly embraces the thought of Helen. History may have been different if it weren't for the wedding, the guests, Discordia, her gift, the hefty bribes, and the verdict.
