Zeus, the ruler of Mount Olympus and king of the gods; god of sky, weather, thunder, lightning, law, order, and fate; had held a banquet in celebration of Peleus and Thetis' marriage, them being the parents of Achilles. Eris, however, was not invited since she would make the party unpleasant for everyone - being the goddess of discord.
Eris was angered sa pamamagitan ng the rude snub, of course, and arrived at the party with a golden mansanas from the Garden of the Hesperides, the word "Kallisti" inscripted into it, meaning "for the fairest". Three goddesses claimed the apple, they were: Hera (queen of marriage, women, childbirth, heirs, kings, and empires); Athena (goddess of wisdom, warfare, battle strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts, and reason); and Aphrodite (goddess of love, beauty, and desire). Zeus, reluctant to favor any of them as the fairest one, chose Paris (Trojan mortal) to judge the cases.
pangkalahatang the story ends with the beginning of the Trojan war.

Iphigenia is usually called the daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon. Agamemnon had angered the goddess Artemis. In order to propitiate the goddess, Agamemnon had to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia at Aulis where the Achaean fleet was impatiently waiting for a wind to tumawid over to Troy. In order to trick Iphigenia into coming, Agamemnon sent word to Clytemnestra that Iphigenia was to marry Achilles, so Clytemnestra willingly brought her daughter to the wedding/sacrifice. Iphigenia, sometimes portrayed as bravo enough to impress Achilles, realized her self-sacrifice was what the Greeks needed.
In some versions of the story, Artemis saves Iphigenia at the last minute.
In revenge for the trickery and killing of their daughter Iphigenia, Clytemnestra killed her husband when he returned from the Trojan War.
