<P> Zeus held a banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis . Eris , the goddess of discord , was not invited for her troublesome nature , and upon turning up uninvited , she threw a golden apple into the ceremony , with an inscription that read : `` ΤΗΙ ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΗΙ '' ( Ancient Greek : τῇ καλλίστῃ tē ( i ) kallistē ( i ) , Modern Greek : τη καλλίστη ti kallisti ; `` for / to the most beautiful '' -- cf . Callisto ) . Three goddesses claimed the apple : Hera , Athena , and Aphrodite . They brought the matter before Zeus . Not wanting to get involved , Zeus assigned the task to Paris of Troy . Paris had demonstrated his exemplary fairness previously when he awarded a prize unhesitatingly to Ares after the god , in bull form , had bested his own prize bull . </P>
