	Judgement of Paris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Judgement of Paris is a story from Greek mythology, in which the legendary roots of the Trojan War can be found.
		The Greeks' expedition to retrieve Helen from Paris in Troy is the mythological basis of the Trojan War.
		In each allusion to the Judgment of Paris or narrative account, an aspect of Paris' sojourn as a shepherd-exile that is never linked to the explication of the central moment is his connection with the nurturing nymph of Mount Ida, Oenone.

	Paris (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though Paris was indeed born before that nightfall, he was spared by Priam, and Hecabe too was unable to kill the child even despite the urging of the priestess of Apollo, one Herophile.
		Paris' noble birth was betrayed by his outstanding beauty, strength and intelligence; while still a child he routed a gang of cattle-thieves and restored the animals they had stolen to the herd, thereby earning the surname Alexander.
		Paris gave the crown to Ares without hesitation; it was this apparent honesty in judgement that prompted the gods of Olympus to have Paris abitrate the divine contest between Hera, Aphrodite and Athene (though it may be noted that Paris did not maintain the same level of disinterest here).

	Paris, Greek Mythology Link.
		Paris was the second child of Queen Hecabe 1 of Troy.
		While Paris reflected, the goddesses, who for the occasion had bathed their immortal bodies, offered him bribes in order to win Eris' award of beauty: Athena offered him the command of Phrygia and the destruction of Hellas, or as some say, that he would be bravest of mortals and skilled in every craft.
		However, others say that Paris did not go to Ida, but that he instead sent a messenger to Oenone 1, asking her to hasten to Troy and heal him, saying also that she should forgive him, for all events happened, he argued, through the will of the gods.

	Judgement of Paris By Paolo Veronese
		Next to Paris is Hera, in the center Aphrodite with three cupids over her head, at the left Pallas Athene.
		A fascinating work of Paolo Veronese in his greatest period is this Judgment of Paris, with the elegance of the Parmigianesque nudes textured with moonlight in the feathery shadow of the woods and the playful circle of Angels above the head of Aphrodite.
