Many guests came totheir wedding feast, and among the mortal guests came all the gods of high Olympus.But as they sat feasting, one who had not been invited was suddenly in their midst: Eris, the goddess ofdiscord, had been left out because wherever she went she took trouble with her; yet here she was, allthe same, and in her blackest mood, to avenge the insult.All she did—it seemed a small thing—was to toss down on the table a golden apple. Then she breathedupon the guests once, and vanished.

- climax:The apple lay gleaming among the piled fruits and the brimming wine cups; and bending close to lookat it, everyone could see the words “To the fairest” traced on its side.Then the three greatest of the goddesses each claimed that it was hers. Hera claimed it as wife to Zeus,the All-father, and queen of all the gods. Athene claimed that she had the betterright, for the beauty of wisdom such as hers surpassed all else.Aphrodite only smiled, and asked who had a better claim to beauty’s prize than the goddess of beauty herself.

- The golden apple should be mine.i am the wife of powerful zeus, the all-father, and the queen of gods
- to the faries
- to the fairest
- No, it should be mine.i am wise and the beauty of wisdom surpasses all other kinds of beauty
- falling action:happy—until one day the three jealous goddesses,still quarreling about the golden apple, chanced to look down from Olympus, and saw the beautifulyoung man herding his cattle on the slopes of Mount Ida. They knew, for the gods know all things, thathe was the son of Priam, king of Troy, though he himself did not know it yet; but the thought came tothem that he would not know who they were, and therefore he would not be afraid to judge betweenthem. They were growing somewhat weary of the argument by then.
- And i will give you the most beautiful woman in the world as your wife if you give me the apple.
- I will give you wealth and power if you choose me.
- To you, aphrodite, the apple.
- I will promise you supreme wisdom if you name me the most fair.
