The Judgment of Paris, as depicted on the body of this hydria, was a favorite subject for the Antimenes Painter and his associates, who painted the scene at least thirteen times on hydriae and amphorae (See for example the hydria formerly in the Castle Ashby collection, pl. 21.1-4 in J. Boardman and M. Robertson, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Castle Ashby, Great Britain, Fasc. 15).

The Judgment of Paris was a contest between the three most beautiful goddesses: Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena. Paris of Troy was given the task of deciding between the goddesses as to whom was the fairest. Each goddess offered him gifts for his favor. Paris bestowed the golden apple upon Aphrodite as she offered him the fairest woman in the world, Helen. This event was the catalyst for the Trojan War and caused the eventual downfall of the city.
