The eventual recipient of the golden apple was Aphrodite.

The golden apple was a significant object in Greek mythology, specifically in the story of the Judgement of Paris. According to the myth, the apple was inscribed with the words "to the fairest" and was given to Paris, a Trojan prince, who was tasked with choosing the fairest among the goddesses Hera, Athena (Athene), and Aphrodite. Each goddess offered him a bribe to win the apple: Hera offered power, Athena promised wisdom and victory in battle, and Aphrodite offered the love of the most beautiful mortal, Helen of Sparta. Paris chose Aphrodite, thus making her the eventual recipient of the golden apple. This decision ultimately led to the events that sparked the Trojan War.
