Inspired by Greek Mythology and the story of Paris and Helen of Troy:
To celebrate the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, Zeus held a banquet. Every deity and demi-god had been invited, except Eris, the goddess of discord. For revenge, Eris threw the golden Apple of Discord inscribed with the word "Kallisti" — "For the fairest" — into the party, provoking a squabble among the goddesses over for whom it had been meant.
The goddesses thought to be the most beautiful were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, and each one claimed the apple. They started a quarrel so they appointed Paris to select the most beautiful. The goddesses attempted to bribe him to choose among them - Hera offered ownership of all of Europe and Asia; Athena offered skill in battle, wisdom and the abilities of the greatest warriors; and Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman on Earth, Helen of Sparta. Paris chose Aphrodite and, therefore, Helen, a decision that ultimately led to the start of the Trojan War.
