Paris was a stupid shitter who picked the worst option of the three, seriously Hera promises him dominion over all of Asia, Athena unmatched wisdom and endless victory, Aphrodite promises him sex with the hottest woman in the world...
he takes Aphrodite up on her offer and dumps his hot magical nymph wife to go fuck the queen of Sparta, starting a 10-year-long war that kills him, his entire family and city
in some ways Paris was the perfect champion of Aphrodite, he was just the dumbest bimbo(male)
>Also Hera was a dick. Why get angry at the lovers (usually non consented) of your husband instead of YOUR husband... Lady...
my favourite story of hers is the one with Tiresias
so one day this guy Tiresias is walking about when he spots two snakes copulating, he thinks this shit is gross so he hits them with his stick
Hera spots this and is displeased that he interrupted a couple like that and transforms him into a woman
he spends the next 7 years as a woman, becomes a priestess of Hera, marries and even has children lol
anyway those 7 years pass and Apollo shows up and tells him that if he has learned the lesson the curse will be revoked, he is walking along the path where he again spots a couple of snakes copulating, learns the lesson lets them be and is turned back into a man
7 years later Hera and Zeus get into a big argument, Zeus says sex is more enjoyable to women while Hera says sex is more enjoyable to men, to settle the argument they go find the one person in the world who's had sex as both a man and a woman
Tiresias tells Hera sex is 10 times more enjoyable for the woman, basically telling her that she can't project her shit to Zeus marriage onto other women, enraged Hera she lashes out not at her husband but at Tiresias, removing his eyesight
Zeus feels kinda bad for him so he gives him the gift of true prophecy, so even if his eyes can't see he can still see the future, he becomes an Oracle(he's the one who guides Odysseus in the underworld)
