Why didn't paris just refuse to be involved in the obvious trap of being involved with gods? Was he just a retard?

>Didn't choose Hera
He was a dumbass who deserved everything that happened to him
>>
>>25292383
Because he was granted Helen as his prize. Are you retarded?
>>
>>25292383
If he had refused he would have been fucked for sure, his only option was to roll the dice and participate
>>
>>25292383
>Duhhh why didn't the mortal tell the famously egotistical gods to fuck off
Retarded OP strikes again

Eris doesn't get hated nearly enough.

Do gods shave their bush?

Great insight OP! When I die and St. Pete tells me I'm going to hell I'll just tell him to fuck off and refuse to go anywhere other than heaven.

You mean Eris doesn't get enough love.
>>
>>25293038
Eris is just a female chud incel mass shooter goddess because Hephaestus is too busy in his goon cave

Discordianism was the original reddit

Yes because telling 3 of the most powerful and notoriously fickle entities in the greek cosmos "no thanks i am not falling for your tricks" is obviously going to pan out great. Thats the kind of move that guarantees you get some comically cruel punishment named after you in Hades.

>Deny the gods
You don't deny the gods, lmao.

Aphrodite sexo

Its also worth noting that the whole episode is kind of an retroactive poetic allegory for Paris' motivation to run away with Helen. It answers the question:

"Why would Paris choose to do this knowing the strategic and diplomatic mess it would cause (Athena) that might result in the ultimate ruin of his family and household (Hera)" The answer was that he chose love (Aphrodite) over those two concerns.

Taking it literally kind of misses the point.
>>
>>25292383
She is explicitly referred to as "golden Aphrodite".

The ancient Greeks might have been insane in lots of ways but they knew that when it comes down to it, blondes are best.
>>
Did the name Paris always have a feminine frivolous male urban artistic left brain connotation? When did that start
>>
>>25292383
The entire point of Paris is that he is a stupid cowardly retard and one of the least interesting people in the conflict despite essentially starting it.
>>
>>25292383
>>25292491
>>25293247
Not just that; remember, it was Zeus who asked him to arbitrate the matter and elect the winner in his stead because He was absolutely fucking sick of his daughter's, wife's and aunt's bitching and whining about some shitty apple somebody left at a wedding without any tag
If Paris had refused he would have had to deal with some zeusian curse and what not. He could have been a chad and taken a shot for all of humanity, true, but he was caught in a problem without any real safe options and went for what he wanted.
He still a dipshit and one of the worst characters in the story

>>25292530
It's called a thought experiment, you autistic cunt.
