    The Judgment of Paris
    Paris is seated on a rock on Mount Ida in Troas, dressed in Phrygian costume.
    At his shoulder a small Eros tries to give him encouragement.
    Hermes who brought the three divinities to Mount Ida stands nearby.
    Behind Hermes is Athena, seated wearing her helmet and with her shield.
    Marsyas Painter (340-330 BCE)
