But go; I shall do whatever seems best. Come, Athena.

ATHENA I am at your side, and if you judge me beautiful, Paris, you shall never leave the-field of battle defeated, but always victorious, for I shall make you a warrior and a conqueror.

PARIS I have no use, Athena, for war and battle. As you see, peace reigns at present over Phrygia and Lydia, and my father’s realm is free from wars. But have no fear; you shall not be treated unfairly, even if my judgement is not to be influenced by gifts. Dress yourself now, and put on your helmet, for I have seen enough. It is time for Aphrodite to appear.
