The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses, Discord, was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess.
神话中讲到男女众神围坐在桌旁庆贺西蒂斯（海神Nereus的女儿）和珀琉斯(埃阿科斯的儿子，阿耳戈英雄之一，阿喀琉斯的父亲)的婚礼，其中一个女神--争吵女神（Discord）是个爱惹麻烦的人。她将一个金苹果扔到桌子上，作为对最美女神的奖励。
It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Juno, Minerva and Venus. Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Venus. Juno and Minerva were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan war.
要做出这个决定可不容易，他们将怎样在朱诺（主神朱庇特的妻子）, 密涅瓦（智慧女神，即希腊神话中的雅典娜）和维纳斯（爱与美的女神）中做出选择呢？这个任务交给了帕里斯（特洛伊王子），他决定将金苹果授予维纳斯，朱诺和密涅瓦都很生气，并威胁他。此事，引发了漫长的特洛伊之战。
