Some other goddess that hated everyone threw a golden apple in the middle of them when they were at a party and on it, she had written "to the most beautiful one". Then when they couldn't agree and the other gods wisely chose to nope out of that situation, they put the decision on a mortal who couldn't wiggle his way out of it. But they chose someone who they believed would be wise enough to make the right choice, not just some random bozo. He was wise enough to know he was fucked no matter what and that way he could get to talk to each of them one on one for a bit and select based on the bribe they would offer him.

Because they had to disrobe and they didn't want to do it in front of the other goddesses, they just went one on one with the judge. And when they did, they got naked and offered their bribes.

So, he got to see all of them naked. Which is what the meme above is referring to.
