Judgement of Paris
The Judgement of Paris is a story from Greek mythology, which was one of the events that led up to the Trojan War and (in slightly later versions of the story) to the foundation of Rome.
==Sources of the episode==
As with many mythological tales, details vary depending on the source. The brief allusion to the Judgement in the ''Iliad'' (24.25–30) shows that the episode initiating all the subsequent action was already familiar to its audience; a fuller version was told in the ''Cypria'', a lost work of the Epic Cycle, of which only fragments (and a reliable summary〔The outline of Proclus, summarized by Photius, found in English translation in ''Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns, and Homerica,'' ed. Evelyn-White, London and Cambridge, Mass. (Loeb series), new and revised edition 1936.〕) remain. The later writers Ovid (''Heroides'' 16.71ff, 149–152 and 5.35f), Lucian (''Dialogues of the Gods'' 20), The ''Bibliotheca'' (''Epitome'' E.3.2) and Hyginus (''Fabulae'' 92), retell the story with skeptical, ironic or popularizing agendas. It appeared wordlessly on the ivory and gold votive chest of the 7th-century BC tyrant Cypselus at Olympia, which was described by Pausanias as showing:
:''... Hermes bringing to Alexander (Paris ) the son of Priam the goddesses of whose beauty he is to judge, the inscription on them being: 'Here is Hermes, who is showing to Alexander, that he may arbitrate concerning their beauty, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite.''〔Pausanias, ''Description of Greece'', (5.19.5 ).〕
The subject was favoured by painters of Red-figure pottery as early as the sixth century BC,〔Kerenyi 1959, fig. 68.〕 and remained popular in Greek and Roman art, before enjoying a significant revival, as an opportunity to show three female nudes, in the Renaissance.
