The Trojan prince Paris, whose fateful choice was responsible for starting a war, is associated with The Lovers card, and I think that The Judgement of Paris would be a fine selection for a classical Tarot. Above is a charming late 16th century work by Hendrick von Balen. We see the three goddesses posing before Paris: Athena, with her shield and owl; Hera, with a peacock by her feet; and, rounding out the fetching trio, Aphrodite with Cupid by her side. Hermes looks on, perhaps a little anxiously, as Paris decides who will receive the golden apple.
