A famous episode from Greek mythology depicts the Judgment of Paris. The young prince, on Zeus's orders, must decide which of three goddesses is the most beautiful: Hera, Athena, or Aphrodite. The statues show Paris with the apple as the object of contention (and the origin of the term "apple of discord") as well as Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena (from left). They were created between 1804 and 1807 by the sculptor Landolin Ohmacht in red sandstone.

4 sandstone figures stand on a common base by Landolin Ohmacht. Standing in the Middle Flower Garden. The figures represent: Paris with the apple, the object of the dispute, Aphrodite, Hera and Pallas Athena (from left to right). (1804 - 1807) The Trojan Paris is supposed to decide which of the three goddesses Aphrodite, Hera and Athena is the most beautiful. The winner is Aphrodite, who promised him Helen, Menelaus' wife.

The Judgment of Paris is a famous episode of Greek mythology. The youth Paris has to decide which of the three goddesses is the most beautiful: Aphrodite, Athena or Hera. Homer only alludes to the subject, while comedy and satire treat it more broadly.
