To the wedding of the King Peleus, ruler of Myrmidons, and Thetis, most famous of
the Nereids, all the gods and goddesses of Olympus were invited expect Eris, the goddesses of
discord. Eris was angry that she was slighted. She plotted revenge.
In the midst of the feast, Eris suddenly appeared and threw a golden apple among
the merry makers.
“For the fairest!” she shouted. Among those at the table were Hera, wife of Zeus
and queen of Olympus, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Athena, goddess of wisdom. The three
goddesses rushed toward the golden apple, each thinking she was the fairest.
Commotion ensued as the three goddesses tried to grab the apple. They
quarrelled before the other guests, who started to disperse. The wedding party broke up sadly.
The three goddesses asked King Zeus, ruler of Mount Olympus, to settle their
dispute. But Zeus did not want to offend anyone of them, so he referred them to Paris, handsome
prince of Troy.
Hera promised to give Paris power and riches, Athena, great wisdom, and
Aphrodite, the most beautiful woman on earth. Paris abducted Helen from her husband, which
started the Trojan War.
The most beautiful woman then was Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta.
Paris abducted the Trojan War.
Law of nature are not commands but statements of acts. The use of the word “law”
in this context is rather unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature. This would
do away with the elementary fallacy that a law implies a law giver. If a piece of matter does not obey
a law of nature it is punished. On the contrary, we say that the law has been in correctly started.
