IDA; The place in where beauty of Aphrodite was registered. It is said in mythological history that Mountain Ida is the place on which the oldest beauty contest was performed. Goddesses and gods lived in their magnificent palaces through the sky and behind the clouds on Mount Ida, which is one of the oldest settlements of ancient times. In those times, one day, there was a happy agitation among the gods. A big party was arranged for the wedding ceremony oj Thetis, a beautiful sea nymph, and Peleus, a mortal human being. The goddess of dissension and aggression was not invited to the ceremony. She had a plan for getting her revenge.
Then, she wrote “to the most beautiful” on an apple and threw it at the middle of the table at the most joyful moment of the wedding dinner. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, three beautiful goddesses, asked Zeus, the king of the gods, to give the apple to the most beautiful of them. Zeus said that a young man, named Paris, who is a shepherd on Mount Ida, would make the best choice and sent them to Paris.Goddess Hera promised to give Asian Kingdom to Paris if he would give the apple her. Similarly, Athena promised infinite intelligence and success. Aphrodite said that she would give the love of Helena of Sparta, who was considered as the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris, who was affected too much by Aphrodite, gave the apple her without hesitating and he also determined City of Troy’s fate as a consequence.
