the golden apple
Storyboard Tekst
- Peleus, king of the Myrmidons, took for his wife a sea nymph called thetis. Many guests came to their wedding feast, one who had not been invited was suddenly in their midst: Eris, the goddess of discord, had been left out because wherever she went she took trouble with her. All she did—it seemed a small thing—was to toss down on the table a golden apple. Then she breathed upon the guests once, and vanished. The apple lay gleaming to the fairest traced on its side.Then the three greatest of the goddesses each claimed that it was hers.
- They fell to arguing among themselves; the argument became a quarrel, and the quarrel grew more and more bitter, and each called upon the assembled guests to judge between them. But the other guests refused, for they knew well enough that whichever goddess they chose to receive the golden apple, they would make enemies of the other two. In the end, the three took the quarrel home with them to Olympus.
- One day the three jealous goddesses, still quarreling about the apple, chanced to look down from olympus, and saw the beautiful young man herding his cattle on the slopes of Mount Ida. So they tossed the apple down to him, and Paris put up his hands and caught. First Athene promised him supreme wisdom if he would name her. Then Hera him vast wealth and power and honour, if he awarded her the prize. Lastly Aphrodite, she she would give him a wife as fair as herself if he tossed the apple to her. Dark-haired Oenone oak woods; and he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite.
