He was given the golden apple and told to choose which goddess, Hera, Athena or Aphrodite, was the fairest. Hera offered vast kingdoms to rule. Athena offered wisdom and shill in battle. Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, Queen of Sparta. Paris chose to give the golden apple to Aphrodite wanting Helen for himself. The myths vary on wether Helen left willingly or was taken forcefully. Since Helen was already married her husband called upon his Greek allies, and laid siege to Troy, beginning the Trojian War.
