Trojan War: Paris’ Choice and Helen’s Fate – The spark that ignited the most legendary war of antiquity wasn’t a battle, but a choice. It all began with a divine wedding: the union of Peleus, a mortal king, and Thetis, a sea nymph destined to bear a son more powerful than his father. Fearing this prophecy, Zeus decreed that Thetis would not bear a god’s child… but destiny could not be stopped.
During that epic banquet, among gods and mortals, a shadow fell: Eris, the goddess of Discord, cast a golden apple engraved with the words “To the fairest.” A simple act that would alter the course of history.
Three goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—claimed the title. No god dared to judge them, and so a mortal was chosen: Paris, the Trojan prince raised among the woods of Mount Ida. Each goddess offered him a magnificent gift… but only one promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world: Helen of Sparta.
