WAR AND LOVE

Once there held a marriage between Tethis the sea goddess and Peleus the mortal king ,

All were invited except Eris the goddess of discord ;

she swore to take revenge and threw a golden apple amongst the wedding  guests ,

The apple caught the attention of the goddesses and inflicted a desire to possess among them all ;

'' FOR THE FAIREST '' it was inscribed on the apple and started a turmoil and the matter boiled ,

They went to Zeus ' the king of gods ' for a solution but he sent them to Paris as he was unable to take a decision ;

The goddesses approached Paris the son of Priam and the prince of Troy with different offers ,

Athena ' goddess of wisdom ' with knowledge and glory,

Hera ' queen of gods ' with riches and wealth

Aphrodite ' goddess of love ' offered Helen the most beautiful women in the world ;

Paris offered the apple to Aphrodite and eloped with Helen from Greece,

Helen's husband Menelaus set out to Troy with an army to retreive his spouse ;

Even after 10 years Troy held on but at last fell to the trickery of the greeks ,

The gift of Greeks led to fall of Troy and death of Paris ;

After the fall of Troy Helen was banished and died during her exile ,

The war of Troy beknown as 'The Trojan war' was started for love and ended in destruction  ; 

Those who fall in love should keep in mind that war and love go hand in hand ,
