  苹果挑争端

  珀 琉斯和海神西蒂斯结婚时邀请了所有的神灵。但是, 显然有一位女神不在邀请之 列, 她就是厄里斯——— 不和女神。由于她在所到之处撒播不和之种, 人们自然不希望她出 席婚宴。厄里斯理所当然地感到愤怒。她决定嘲弄宴会上的众神一番。当新娘新郎退场 后, 厄里斯偷偷溜进了大厅, 往地板上抛出了一个金苹果, 上书“ 献给最美的神”。这在赫 拉、雅典娜和阿佛洛狄特三位女神之间引起了激烈争执。宙斯认为将她们带到爱达山上一 位名叫帕里斯的牧羊人那里, 让他来裁决才是明智的。海尔墨斯作为使者, 手持金苹果, 领着三位女神离开了。

  帕里斯是特洛伊国王皮安姆的儿子。由于他母亲在生他时, 梦到自己手持一根燃烧的 木头, 于是人们认为这孩子会给城市带来毁灭之灾。为了使王国免遭可能之祸, 国王及王 后把尚无自理能力的孩子扔到了爱达山顶。就这样, 孩子还是摆脱噩运, 活了下来。在牧 人们的精心抚养下, 孩子长得既强壮又英俊。他偷偷地与漂亮忠诚的奥诺妮山神结了婚。 在这个不同寻常的一天, 帕里斯正在山腰照看羊群, 惊奇地发现四个人站在他面前。海尔 墨斯讲完帕里斯所要做的事情之后就离去了。三位美丽的女神立即争吵起来, 竞相在这位 牧羊人面前表现自己。赫拉许诺让他成为亚细亚国王, 雅典娜愿意帮助他在战争中得到不朽 的荣誉, 而阿佛洛狄特则保证让他得到世上最美的女人的爱。小伙子原始的本性被激发了出来, 阿佛洛狄特得到了金苹果, 而另两位女神则怒气冲冲地离开, 成了特洛伊城的死 敌。
