Legends Summarized : The Trojan War | Overly Sarcastic Productions Reaction 

If it makes you feel any better, no one really cries when he dies. Even his countrymen condemn him for his war crimes.

​@@catherinecao4810Agamemnon: "dies" Everyone else: "fucking finally"

@@kingofdragons7 yeah, but Agamemnon gets one that makes you believe God exists and is dishing out justice accordingly

@@catherinecao4810 how did he die?

@@Gacha_Got_Arsorned his wife murders him and his concubine in the bathtub

Also makes the communication really rough in the end “Where’s Helen?!” “She’s… not here” “Interesting concept however I don’t believe in rite breakers!” **sacks the city looking for her**

Inferential logic is indistinguishable from blind faith.

Sadly 😥 not in hindsight Athena 🦉should have gotten the apple even if hera 🦚 did crown him no one outside of Greece at the time would expect it he would need Athena's gift too for that and Athena could just let him win more parts that can turn into to Greece at the time and he could rule over that

Weak.shit. Athena all the way

I mean, as a mortal in the ancient greek mythocosmos, i think it is safe to assume you are thoroughly screwed the moment some gods show up in front of you, no matter what you do. So you might as well choose whatever you think gives you the most little moments of joy during your probably miserable last days...

Theirs two games that made me realize the most grand and talked about jobs would be tough for a regular person. The jobs being ruler of the world” and “Evil Genius” theirs a Game called Crusader Kings 3. It’s a grand strategy game that involves gaining power, prestige and land through diplomacy, war, politics or carefully calculated murder. In all cases eventually all the land you’ve acquired gets hard to manage on your own so you turn parts of conquered territory to people you trust and the inter politics that threaten to destroy your empire start creeping up. After a certain point it’s practically impossible to keep even half the world conquered with civil wars all over the place. Then theirs a game called Evil Genius 2 that’s a base building game with you ordering minions out to preform operations that will pave the way to world domination with your cover being a purchased island with a luxury Hotel and Casino. So that your evil base looks like an average island resort. The sheer logistics of keeping this operation together, making sure everything stays in working order, that the island is self sufficient, that your base is comfortable enough that your minions don’t just turncoat and run and a proper security system set in place in case any government agents try snooping around in restricted areas. All in all being an overlord is tough and I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I agree. "Heavy is the head that wears the Crown".

My thought about that was: king of the world, unfortunately backstabbing and court politics pretty much killed you.

Considering the other two goddesses will hate you for not picking you: king of the world, but no-one ever truly loves you and you somehow lose every serious battle without ever actually losing your throne, so no-one respects you either.

The smart choice is to tell Hermes to get someone equally immortal to make the choice

The smart choice is to please Hera. The smart choice is to ALWAYS please Hera. Aphrodite might fuck up your love life, Athena might make you be a dumbass at a moment intelligence is paramount or fuck you up in a battle somewhere, but you never. Ever. EVER. Fuck with Hera. Aphrodite and Athena may fuck with _you,_ but when you mess with Hera, you get what Paris got: family. friends, country, dead, brutalized, erased from the fucking face of the Earth. You fuck with Hera, you're not only dooming yourself to a miserable life that will absolutely end in a terrible and painful death, but you are _also_ dooming literally anyone you ever cared about or even just met by chance to the same fate. And whatever children they have. And their descendants. I'm not even joking, there are still parts in the Aeneid where Hera is _still_ fucking people up, for the crime of having been born in the same city where Paris was born.

The only possible person who could have made the choice and come away relatively scott free would have been Zeus, who could have picked Hera and then justified his choice to Aphrodite and Athena by invoking their respective domains (Love and Beauty/Wisdom and Strategy) with "She's the one I chose as my wife and queen, I chose her for her beauty, and choosing anyone *but* her would cause trouble in my house while also potentially invalidating one of the foundations of our marriage." In doing so, Zeus would use their own domains against them while also proving that his choice is not an insult to them. Also, he makes Hera very happy with him, not just as his wife but as the Goddess of Marriage. Could this potentially cause trouble for him down the line? Yes. But cleverness and cunning is usually celebrated in Greek stories, so I imagine any negative consequences would have been very mild.

@@NoahofWill can you honestly believe that Zeus, aka cheats on Hera with Aphrodite constantly, would've chosen Hera? him ditching the responsibility was his smart move

Artemis: "I thought he'd Abraham up! ...but Agamemmnon is no Abraham >:("

That's actually a really interesting answer; however none would win. Aphrodite killed (or did worse) to numerous women who were proclaimed more beautiful than her. Hera rained destruction on Zeus' partners even when they didn't consent. Athena seems like the only good option, however she turned arachne into a spider just because she was better at weaving.

Ok then they'll all just gang up and kill you.

That's absolutely thing to crazy said

It was all part of Athena's very convoluted plan to make sure that Zues got his wish of Rome being founded. Also cause she really wanted to see Aphrodite get stabbed, even if it wasn't really going to do much damage.

@@drizzmatec ...that's just adding lore post-canon, that doesn't count. My point is tha in the core story, where the godesses of WAR, MARRIAGE and LOVE fight over which one of them is the *prettiest* one.... you gotta admit that one of those three doesn't quite fit. Especially since Athena's whole thing is that she's a *virgin* and she isn't into anyone romantically. Also, why have a random human be the judge?? It's obvious he would be a lousy one. They should have asked Apollo or something, at least he's one of the gods whose roles include being "the god of beauty". ...I mean he'd probably just get bribed by Aphrodite too, lol. But at least it wouldn't kick off a 10-year human war.

@@CJCroen1393 Great, so basically all major godesses in greek mythology have vanity issues. Good to know.
