Reading The Judgement Of The Goddesses | Alexandria
Read The Judgement Of The Goddesses by Lucian. Staging history's first beauty contest, this ancient satire exposes how divine vanity sparked the Trojan War, as Aphrodite, Hera and Athena compete for Paris's golden apple. The surprising twist? Lucian suggests true wisdom means recognizing beauty's power to corrupt even immortal beings - a critique that cuts deeper than mere mythological entertainment.
