JOHN ERSKINE (3) American educator, musician, poet, essayist and novelist (1879 - 1951)   CHECK READING LIST (1)   The point of this story is that Paris gave the prize to Aphrodite, not because she bribed him, but because she was beautiful. After all, it was a contest in beauty, though Athena and Hera started a discussion about wisdom and power. It was they who tried to bribe him. They had their merits and they had arguments, but Aphrodite was the thing itself.       - The Private Life of Helen of Troy          (pt. 1, ch. 1) [Books (First Lines)] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
