I'm going to say Paras.
And basically Paras is the son of King Priam.
And as you know, Priam of Troy.
So each goddess offers Paras a bribe.
Hera offered him power, dominion over all of Europe and Asia, which is kind of funny that the goddess of all the goddesses was like, I'll give you some of the land.
I'm assuming in the story it was all that they knew, but it's funny that they were like, she was like, yeah, you're not going to get Argentina.
That's crazy.
You're not going to get Morocco.
Why would they?
I'm just saying, if you're offering this whole bribe to get this golden apple to be the fairest of them all...
I'm just you would think Yeshua would up the ante regardless alright Athena offers him wisdom and skill in battle he would never lose a war that's a pretty good sales pitch that actually I think is better than land well actually you do war to get land anyway Aphrodite offers the most beautiful woman in the world yeah that's I mean it's kind of funny even way back then they were like yeah obviously because men go to war to what get land and why do they want land to get women so just go straight to women
Now, Paras chooses Aphrodite, the most beautiful woman in the world.
And that decision, according to the Greeks, is what burned Troy to the ground.
The most beautiful woman in the world that is basically offered is Helen.
And Helen is married to Menelaus, the king of Sparta.
Don't you hate that?
I mean, this is like a real monkey paw thing, because it's like, hey, I assumed when you said the most beautiful woman in the world, it would be a single woman.
right like that like oh give me the most beautiful woman in the world and then it's like an 85 year old and you're like what and they were like oh she used to be the most you didn't specify when she is the most beautiful of all time you're saying married women are 85 year old women i'm just saying it's like if you're if you're thinking most beautiful you just think like oh yeah that conditionally would mean you know between the ages of like 24 and 35 you know
