[The Iliad and the Odyssey]The Trojan War only happened because poor Paris had to pick between Aphrodite, Hera and Athena on was the hottest. Each offered him a bride. How should he have responded and who should have picked? What would have been a better gift to ask for?

Hera offered to make him the ruler of basically the entire world. Athena offered him wisdom and military success.  Aphrodite offered him the most beautiful woman in the world, which he picked which then kicked off the Trojan War and later got him killed and his city burned to the ground.


What would have been a better way for him to respond? Suppose that he asked for a different gift or boom from any of the goddesses, what would it would have been a better one to ask for?

Maybe he should have said something to the effect that the beauty of the Goddesses was so overwhelming and magnificent that no mortal could judge which of them was the most beautiful but (and this is important) don't say they're equal, say that one of the surely must be the most beautiful. Don't insult them by saying they have equal beauty; say that one is the best but you can't tell which, then they'll keep fighting each other because each Goddess in her vanity will imagine that it's her. 

This may or may not work, but Paris was screwed no matter which he picked so it was at least worth a try.
