In the end Paris received what he was promised a wife as beautiful as Aphrodite herself. When he met Helen he thought she was more beautiful then what people said about her. He decided he would elope with her to Troy she agreed for Paris was younger even if she made an okay marriage with King Menelaus she didn't choose to marry him her father did. He went to Oenone first and told her about his travels and she begged him not to go but Paris would not hear it so he left and never came back to her. The prophecy was quite true when Paris heard of Helen of the Fair Cheek's beauty he had to go see for her himself. The prophecy foretold that Paris was a firebrand and would burn down Troy. They would've done well if they hadn't just so dutifully forgot the prophecy. So in her joy she brought him home hoping the king would take him in when the king and his subjects saw how he had grown up they forgot all about the prophecy and welcomed him into their home. Keeping her end of the deal she put a thought into the soldiers that got them to go where Paris was and Paris's mother saw him and knew he was her long lost son who she gave up because of the prophecy and was to be told dead. Paris was so interested in Aphrodite's offer that he forgot about his love Oenone the wood nymph and chose Aphrodite to be "The Fairest". They all offered him great things Athene offered him vast knowledge, Hera offered a great amount of power, and Aphrodite offered a wife as beautiful as herself. After many years they finally settled their quarrels by asking a boy named Paris who thought he was just a herdsman, though the goddesses knew that he was really a prince specifically King Priam's son, who was the fairest. Eris was quite furious so she threw down a golden apple that had "To the fairest" etched on its side knowing three goddesses known as Athene, Hera, and Aphrodite would fight for the title "The Fairest".

This chapter is where it all started when Eris the goddess of discord wasn't invited toThetis of the silver feet's wedding.
