“The painting shows the Judgment of Paris, an event in Greek mythology. The Trojan shepherd Paris was instructed by Hermes to judge which goddess was the fairest, and to give the golden apple to her (which Paris holds in his right hand). To try to win his decision, Aphrodite (and Athena, to some extent) removed her dress and stood before Paris completely naked. Paris chooses Aphrodite the fairest after she promises him the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, as his wife. Figures, from left to right: The goddesses Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, then Aphrodite’s son, Eros, and Paris is on the right.”

"…they say that in a banquet of the Gods Discord threw down a golden apple; the Goddesses contended for it, and were sent by Zeus to Paris to be judged. Paris saw Aphrodite to be beautiful and gave her the apple. Here the banquet signifies the hypercosmic powers of the Gods; that is why they are all together. The golden apple is the world, which being formed out of opposites, is naturally said to be ‘thrown by Discord’. The different Gods bestow different gifts upon the world, and are thus said to ‘contend for the apple’. And the soul which lives according to sense - for that is what Paris is - not seeing the other powers in the world but only beauty, declares that the apple belongs to Aphrodite.”
- On the Gods and The World by Sallustius

this is the first time i've ever seen paris depicted wearing a leopard skin! and an ivy crown! how incredibly dionysian like YES i think there are parallels between paris and dionysus. and paris' pre-princely life is very satyrlike i've just never seen that implied so directly athena hera aphrodite paris of troy

Archaeological Museum of Delphi:

The east frieze from the Siphnian Treasury depicts a scene inspired from the Iliad. The Aethiop Memnon leads the Trojans at the left, against the Achaeans led by Achilles at the right. At the council of the gods Thetis perhaps entreats Zeus for the life of her son. At the left behind Zeus are depicted Ares, Aphrodite, Artemis and Apollo on the side of the Trojans. At the right on the side of the Achaeans, facing Zeus, are depicted Athena, Hera and Demeter (or Thetis)

i like memnon's braids/tight curls also i love the gods physically grouped based on which faction they're behind memnon antilochus (dead) achilles ares aphrodite artemis apollo zeus thetis athena hera demeter
