This book is a reprint of the prepared quarto of "The Arraignment of Paris," a play by George Peele first performed in 1581 and taken from a literary tradition that began in ancient Greece. The story centres around a beauty competition judged by the shepherd, Paris, between three goddesses: Hera (Juno), Athena (Pallas), and Aphrodite (Venus). The central character is tasked by the goddesses to award a golden apple to the fairest of the three, with his eventual choice to award the prize to Aphrodite being the catalyst for the Trojan War. The book is a fascinating study of morality, love, and beauty, and an important text in the development of English literature.
