Paris
Πάρις
The Trojan prince told to choose one goddess out of three.
Abandoned at birth because of a prophecy that he would destroy his country, he grew up as a shepherd.
Hera offered power, Athena wisdom and victory, Aphrodite the most beautiful woman in the world — and he chose Aphrodite.
That choice brought Helen, and brought Troy down. It was also he who later killed Achilles with an arrow.
