The battle between the Centaurs and Lapiths formed the subject matter for metopes on the south side of the fifth-century BC Parthenon at Athens.

The apple bore an inscription: ‘for the most beautiful’. Now every woman, nymph or goddess claimed it for her own and the feast degenerated into acrimony. Only after many years would the apple find an owner, when Zeus commanded Paris to make a judgment on Mount Ida, the consequence of which would be the fall of Troy.
