F2F Class Notes December 12th (Ben)

Once upon a time, the King of Troy held a banquet and invited all gods to attend it, apart from the the goddess of discord who was said to be troublesome.

As a revenge, she sent a golden apple as a present, with a sign that read this apple was for the fairest of all goddesses.

As 3 of them argued over who of them it would be, they brought the matter to the King, who eventually chose one of them, Aphrodite. As a sign of gratitude, she made Helen fall in love with him and follow him to Troy. Unfortunately, she happened to be already married and her husband followed them with his army, thus kicking the start of the Trojan War for the next 10 years that followed.
