In the Judgment of Paris, what prize was awarded to the fairest goddess?

The correct answer is the golden apple, which is central to the myth of the Judgment of Paris. In this ancient Greek myth, three goddesses—Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite—compete for the title of the fairest. Paris, a Trojan prince, is chosen to judge the contest. Each goddess offers him a bribe in hopes of winning his favor. Ultimately, Paris awards the title of the fairest to Aphrodite, who promised him the love of the most beautiful mortal woman, Helen of Sparta. The golden apple symbolizes this contest and serves as the prize that Paris presents to Aphrodite, marking a significant moment that leads to the events of the Trojan War. The other options, such as a golden crown or a diamond ring, are not part of this myth and do not hold any relevance in the context of the competition between the goddesses.
