Which would you take?
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?

Athena: Win any battle.
Aphrodite: the hand/love of any single woman.

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

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

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.

mine too, abilites to win any battles, means I can use to win women and love.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.

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!

Re: Which would you take?
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 ). Of course I'd have to ensure no retaliation from the other two for not picking them, that would be the hard part!Ghost Rider wrote:Let's say The Golden Apple landed into your lap and the three Goddess offered you their prizes which would you take

Sex can be a mock battle - but everyone wins
