Story / Additional InfoExecuted on a grand scale, the present work illustrates the Judgement of Paris, a story from Greek mythology which opens with the marriage celebration of Peleus and Thetis. The banquet was held in their honor by Zeus, who chose not to invite Eris, the goddess of discord; angered by this decision she arrived unannounced and threw a golden apple into the gathering, upon which was the inscription 'for the fairest one'. Three goddesses made to claim the prize – Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Asked to mediate, Zeus declined to judge the women and instead nominated Paris, a prince of Troy, to choose the fairest maiden. Each woman appeared before him and attempted to lure him with gifts of favor – Paris finally awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite based on her promise to him of the world's most beautiful woman, Helen of Troy. The three goddesses are ringed together, the golden apple in their midst, whilst the young Paris stands to one side with a hand clasped to his chest.
