The goddess strife showest up uninvited at a party invited and threw down a golden apple inscribed "For the Fairest" they asked Zeus to judge he wasn't stupid enough to get involved in a fight with his wife and 2 of his daughters. Paris who was supposed the best looking mortal male was chosen. But all three goddess cheated and the Trojan war resulted.

This verse reminds me that pretty much everything out here in the material realm is disputable, so I must assess the circumstance and the person/s I'm interacting with and ACCEPT (him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters) - this acceptance part is huge. Many times I must give over my 'feelings' (either that I've got to do something to 'fix' the one whose faith is weak [which may be me because I'm not trusting God enough in the situation, even though I may think I have the 'deeper connection' or 'the better way' or can share 'the gospel', etc], or mentally step back and not 'get too close until they see it the way I do' [which is arrogance on my part]) and remember God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present. So all my job is just to be loving and non-judgmental and compassionate and fore-giving. Believer or non-believer I must act the same towards my neighbor (everyone on the planet, in other words). Good food for thought Q :) Thanks

Ahhh, my dear sweet Eris. Still at work on students.
It was both.
It was at a wedding, where all the gods were invited except for Eris, goddess of discord and chaos. As she was snubbed, she crashed the wedding in a fit of rage and hurled a golden apple inscribe with the word "Kallisti" which means To the prettiest one. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite squabbled over it, and to get an impartial judge, the gods ordered the mortal Paris to judge.

Paris was suppose to give the golden apple to the fairest, so that was the prize that went along with the title, the gesture that symbolized the title. Aphrodite promised him that he could have the most beautiful mortal lady of his time if he would pick her and so he did. then when Paris saw Helen of Sparta (beautiful Helen) he called Aphrodite to fullfill her promise and she helped him kidnapp her and so the Trojan war started....

There is a competition on WHO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL is and the winner gets the Golden Apple. There for we can say both , arguing over the title and the prize.

They argued over which was the most beautiful. Or so I've read.
