Description: Paris and Helen - Legend Love story - Seduction - Prince of Troy and Queen of Sparta - Homer's Iliad - Cold Cast Bronze ResinCondition: NewMaterial: Cold Cast Bronze ResinHeight: 15 cm - 5,9 inchesWidth: 18 cm - 7,1 inchesLength: 8 cm - 3,1 inchesWeight: 1130 g Paris, a Trojan prince, came to Sparta to claim Helen, in the guise of a supposed diplomatic mission. Before this journey, Paris had been appointed by Zeus to judge the most beautiful goddess; Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. In order to earn his favour, Aphrodite promised Paris the most beautiful woman in the world. Swayed by Aphrodite's offer, Paris chose her as the most beautiful of the goddesses, earning the wrath of Athena and Hera.Although Helen is sometimes depicted as being raped by Paris, Ancient Greek sources are often elliptical and contradictory. Herodotus states that Helen was abducted, but the Cypria simply mentions that after giving Helen gifts, "Aphrodite brings the Spartan queen together with the Prince of Troy."Sappho argues that Helen willingly left behind Menelaus and their nine-year-old daughter, Hermione, to be with Paris:Some say a host of horsemen, others of infantry and othersof ships, is the most beautiful thing on the dark earthbut I say, it is what you loveFull easy it is to make this understood of one and all: forshe that far surpassed all mortals in beauty, Helen hermost noble husbandDeserted, and went sailing to Troy, with never a thought forher daughter and dear parents.— Sappho, fragment 16 (Voigt) ΠAN 76402 ΕΛΕΝΗ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΡΙΣ - 25,90 *********************
