The three goddesses who fought over the golden Apple were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. This conflict arose during the event known as the Judgment of Paris, where Paris, a Trojan prince, was tasked with deciding which goddess deserved the Apple inscribed with "to the fairest." Each goddess offered him a bribe: Hera promised power, Athena promised wisdom and military success, and Aphrodite promised the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen of Sparta. Paris ultimately awarded the Apple to Aphrodite, leading to the events that sparked the Trojan War.
