Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, on his birth was left on Mount Ida to die because his mother, Hecuba, had dreamt that he would cause Troy to be razed to the ground by fire. Despite this, he was rescued and raised by a shepherd and eventually married Oenone, daughter of the river god Oeneus. Participating in funeral games to win back one of his bulls that had been carried off as prize for the games, he was recognised by his sisted Cassandra and was restored to the family.
Eris (Discord), the only god not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, in revenge threw among the guests a golden apple inscribed 'To the fairest'. Paris was asked to choose between Juno, Minerva and Venus. All three attempted to bribe Paris, but he awarded the apple to Venus because she promised the love of any woman he chose. Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world and wife of the Spartan King Menelaus, was chosen by Paris, and carried her back to Troy. This act fulfilled Hecuba's dream and caused the Trojan war. After the fall of Troy, Paris wounded, returned to Oenone but she refused to heal him and he died.
