GOLDEN APPLE 🍎

  • Eris left a golden apple on the table
  • This apple proved whoever had it was the fairest
  • Athena, Hera, and I each thought it was for us
  • We gave the apple to Paris, a son of King Priam of Troy
  • Paris was to choose one of us to receive the apple

Continued . . .

  • Athena offered him supreme wisdom 🌎
  • Hera offered him vast wealth and power
  • And lastly, I offered him a wife as beautiful as me
  • Paris forgot about Oenone, his lover before all of this
  • Paris tossed the apple to me

WHEN/how WAS I BORN?

  • Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus 🌊
  • The body parts were thrown in the ocean
  • The sea started to foam 🌊

  • The sea carried me to either Cyprus or Cythera ⭐️
