Mythology's most famous beauty contest was settled with a bribe. Eris, left off the guest list at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, threw in a golden apple for the fairest, and Hera, Athena and Aphrodite all claimed it. Zeus had the sense not to judge and handed the job to Paris, a Trojan prince. Hera offered him power over Europe and Asia, Athena offered wisdom and skill in war, and Aphrodite offered the most beautiful woman alive. She won. The woman was Helen, already married to the Greek king Menelaus, and the Trojan War followed. For people who know the apple was never the point.

An Aphrodite graphic tee for mythology fans, classics students, and anyone who treats beauty as a form of power. The goddess in profile, crowned with a diadem of lotus flowers and Greek key pattern, holding a lotus-tipped sceptre against a fan of peacock feathers. A gift for Greek mythology lovers, art history majors, romantics, and the people who always win the argument.
