Which would you take?

Post by Ghost Rider »

Let's say The Golden Apple landed into your lap and the three Goddess offered you their prizes which would you take

Hera: Rule any country.

Athena: Win any battle.

Aphrodite: the hand/love of any single woman.

and why?

Id probably go with the love of a women. Tell her find me my mate, so I could settle down after courting for a year or two.

First, I would make them promise not to seek any kind of retribution for not being chosen (that was Paris' mistake)

Then, I would take Athena.

I don't want to deal with ruling a country, and I don't trust myself to fall in love with any woman I see. :wink:

Acting like a man is a good way to get the girls, anyway. :D

I would pick:

Athena: Win any battle.

With that power, I could win the battle of love for a woman, win a battle to rule a country.

Aphrodite.

But this time, she'd better make sure the woman isn't married or anything.

Dude, I don't think you can do that.

The offer only covered mortal women, IIRC.

Only mortal women.

As for me...first I would do what Iggy did...and make sure no retribution...and take Aphrodite's

While winning any battle is awesome...don't need the stress :P

Athena. That way if a god tried to come after me I can win the battle with him/her. Then I would take over the world. Mu hahahaha.

Win any battle, assuming its not a singular thing.

Ooops. I didn't read the post first.
I assumed it would be which one would you fuck, so I went for the virgin.

Never mind, I've just brought down the tone of the entire thread.

Hera. I can become the ruler of the world then, after I secure one country and build up my forces. But I'd need Athena to guarantee that this would happen.

Amazingly, you didn't. Well not yet.

I wouldn't take Aphrodite's offer, I've already got the girl I love. Awww.

That leaves Athena and Hera...Athena's also the Goddess of Wisdom, as well as War, I'd pick Athena's, the battle that makes me the ruler of the most powerful country on Earth!

I'd toss the apple into the air, say "It goes to whoever catches it", and go off to have a hotdog with Eris and congratulate her on her arm.

I'd cut the apple into three equal pieces and give one piece to each goddess. Everyone walks away happy.

Aphrodite, I don't need to fight any more, I don't want to run a country, so finding the girl for me and lving happily ever after sounds the best (plus i can stop looking all over the place for her :D ). Of course I'd have to ensure no retaliation from the other two for not picking them, that would be the hard part!

I don't think Greek gods looked kindly on people obviously more intelligent than they were. :D

Love is a battle? I think we know where you've been going wrong. :D

Sex can be a mock battle - but everyone wins :wink:
