Eris and the Apple of Discord
It seems that Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a trouble maker. This is known as the Original Snub and made Eris very angry. She then fashioned an apple of pure gold and inscribed upon it KALLISTI ("to the Prettiest One"). On the day of the Banquet, She rolled the apple in the hall and left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.
The rest of the story is common knowledge: Athena, Hera and Aphrodite each claimed the apple belonged to herself because of the inscription. The banquet turned into a big fight and Zeus decided to calm things down by designing an arbitrator, a shepherd of Troy named Paris.
Each of the three Goddesses tried to bribe Paris. Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offered him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him the Most Beautiful Woman on Earth. Since Paris was a horny little bastard, he choose Aphrodite as the Prettiest Goddess and he got screwed.
The Most Beautiful Women on Earth happened to be Helen, wife of Menelaus, the King of Sparta. Menelaus got really pissed off when Helen was taken away from him and he declared war on Troy. The Trojan War ensued and lasted for years. And so we suffer because of the Original Snub.
