Many people know the story, Helen of Troy and the Trojan war.  Some also know that this story came about because of Helen being offered as a prize to Paris to stop three goddesses squabbling. 
But what many do not know (including myself until recently) is why they were arguing to begin with.Apparently it was all thanks to Eris, the goddess of chaos who rolled amongst them a golden apple with kallisti or for the most beautiful written across it.  Thus stirring up trouble as of course ALL three believed it theirs and so the story began.
