That's s-o-l-g-o-o-d-m-e-d-i-a .com You have all heard of the famous walls of Troy many years ago Troy was a beautiful city It was situated in Asia Minor opposite Greece its king was called Priem and He had one son named Hector and a much younger son who was known as Paris The daughter of Priem was Cassandra and she was what in those days they called a seer in other words She could look into the future and tell what was going to happen now when the baby Prince Paris was born Cassandra told how that he would one day bring dreadful misfortune to his family therefore instead of bringing the young Prince up in the palace the family sent him away at an early age to live in the country and As he grew up he was trained to be a shepherd so Paris wandered over the hillsides of Mount Ida and tended his flocks Just about this time all the gods and goddesses of Greece were invited to a wedding Only one goddess was not asked this was discord and great was her indignation When she found that she was not to be among the wedding guests Discord determined to have her revenge on those who would offended her on The day of the marriage she hid herself near the place where the feast was to be While the guests were wandering happily among the groves and enjoying the good things provided for them Discord crept in among them suddenly she lifted up her hand and threw something into the very midst of the assembled company Everybody clamored for it and when it was picked up it was found to be an apple all of gold and on it were inscribed these words for the fairest You can well imagine the excitement that followed there were many beautiful goddesses present and each thought herself entitled to the prize After much argument however the choice narrowed down to three These were Juno the queen of the gods Minerva the goddess of wisdom and Venus the goddess of love None of these three would consent to give the apple to either of the other two Finally someone made the suggestion that the choice be left to a mortal After more discussion it was decided that the young shepherd known as Paris should say to which goddess the apple should go Thereupon Minerva Juno and Venus sought out Paris where he tended his sheep and each made him wonderful promises as to what she would give him Should he award her the apple Juno promised to make him wealthy and powerful Minerva promised him great fame as a warrior Venus said to him in her most charming way If you will give me the apple I will get for you the most beautiful woman in the world for your wife the last promise was too great a temptation for the young shepherd and he decided that Venus deserved the apple marked for the fairest in this way a great trouble was brought upon the city of Troy for the most beautiful woman in the world was Helen the wife of Menelis the king of Sparta in the years before Helen was married all the warriors of Greece had tried to win Her when at last she chose Menelis for her husband her other suitors took a vow that should she ever for any cause leave Menelis They would go anywhere to fight in order to bring her back Now when Paris was told by Venus to go to Sparta after Helen he first went back to Troy There his family tried to persuade him to remain at home Because they knew that his attempt to win Helen would only mean a war with the Greeks for themselves But Paris persisted in going his own way Arrived in Sparta Paris was received by Menelis as an honored guest But he was very ungratefully set about at once to persuade Helen to return to Troy with him Helen who was as vain as she was beautiful was fascinated by the handsome young prince and his eager love making and Soon consented to go away with him when Menelis discovered that his guest had left and that his wife was also gone He was furious. He called together all his allies among these were Ulysses Achilles and Agamemnon Somehow the enthusiasm with which these various heroes had promised their aid to Menelis should Helen not prove faithful Had lessened Ulysses was happily married and had a son He was not so keen on leaving his home the father and mother of Achilles did not desire him to go to war at all and Agamemnon the king of Mycenae Was very much occupied with other affairs However at the call of Menelis they came to Sparta and held a council of war at this council They decided to take an army to the plains that lay around the city of Troy Then they would besiege the city and if they were victorious the mighty walls of Troy should fall and with them Should go down to death the house of Priam and the unfaithful woman who had deserted her husband And of for the fairest by Norma Bright Carson Every day when you log into Chumba Casino.com the ultimate online social casino You get a free daily bonus imagine if you got daily bonuses in other parts of your life I chose french fries over loaded French fries.
