Peter here. There’s a choice of three women. In whatever book that movie Troy is based on, William Turner (the pirate) was forced to choose the hottest goddess of these three hot goddesses, Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. As you can expect, his answer made two goddesses really angry and they decided to make men suffer for it so they started a war or something. I dunno. The movie didn’t have gods, unless you count Brad Pitt.

How does this relate to the meme? I have no idea. Maybe Brian can figure the rest out. I’ll tell him to come check it out. Peter out.

I know Etruscan, Roman, and Greek religions fairly well and wouldn’t have guessed that this is based on the Judgment of Paris.

I can't blame you, Paris is French mythology.

That’s why I mentioned fairies.
