On the day of Paris's birth, it was further announced by Aesacus that the child born of a royal Trojan that day would have to be killed to spare the kingdom, being the child that would bring about the prophecy. Though Paris was indeed born before nightfall, he was spared by Priam. Hecuba was also unable to kill the child, despite the urging of the <a href="/wiki/Priest" title="Priest">priestess</a> of <a href="/wiki/Apollo" title="Apollo">Apollo</a>, one <a href="/wiki/Sibyl" title="Sibyl">Herophile</a>.

Her father was <a href="/wiki/Cebren" title="Cebren">Cebren</a>, a <a href="/wiki/River-god" class="mw-redirect" title="River-god">river-god</a> or, according to other sources, she was the daughter of <a href="/wiki/Oeneus" title="Oeneus">Oeneus</a>.

He thus appointed Paris to select the most beautiful. </p><p>Escorted by <a href="/wiki/Hermes" title="Hermes">Hermes</a>, the three goddesses bathed in the spring of Mount Ida and approached Paris as he herded his cattle. Having been given permission by Zeus to set any conditions he saw fit, Paris required that the goddesses undress before him<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (alternatively, the goddesses themselves chose to disrobe to show all their beauty). Still, Paris could not decide, as all three were ideally beautiful, so the goddesses attempted to bribe him to choose among them. Hera offered ownership of all of Europe and Asia. Athena offered skill in battle, wisdom and the abilities of the greatest warriors. Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful woman on Earth: Helen of Sparta. Paris chose Helen and thereby Aphrodite. </p><p>Helen was already married to King <a href="/wiki/Menelaus" title="Menelaus">Menelaus</a> of Sparta (a fact Aphrodite neglected to mention), so Paris had to raid Menelaus's house to steal Helen from him—according to some accounts, she fell in love with Paris and left willingly. </p><p>The Spartans' expedition to retrieve Helen from Paris in Troy is the mythological basis of the Trojan War. This triggered the war because Helen was famous for her beauty throughout <a href="/wiki/Achaea_(ancient_region)" title="Achaea (ancient region)">Achaea</a> (ancient Greece), and had many suitors of extraordinary ability. Therefore, following <a href="/wiki/Odysseus" title="Odysseus">Odysseus</a>'s advice, her father <a href="/wiki/Tyndareus" title="Tyndareus">Tyndareus</a> made all suitors promise to defend Helen's marriage to the man he chose for her. When Paris took her to Troy, Menelaus invoked this oath. Helen's other suitors, who between them represented most of Achaea's strength, wealth, and military prowess, were obliged to help bring her back. Thus, the whole of Greece moved against Troy in force and the <a href="/wiki/Trojan_War" title="Trojan War">Trojan War</a> began. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px; height: 230px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Painting_on_terracotta_panels_of_the_judgement_of_Paris_from_Cerveteri_(Boccanera_tomb)_-_London_BM_1889-0410-1_-_02.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Paris receives Hermes who leads Athena, Hera and Aphrodite.
