In the famous story of Paris’ choice, he favoured the goddess who offered him ‘grievous lust’ (μαχλοσύνην ἀλɛγɛινήν). This is what Homer tells us in Il. 24.30. It has not often been noticed that Cratinus (5th cent. BC) and Lucian (2nd cent. AD) mention another gift – that Aphrodite's bribe was to make Paris irresistible to women. This alternative version happens to correspond to a high degree with several literary and artistic representations of the same story, telling it in a manner that implies or suggests the variant account. This paper argues that the set of instances containing this alternative gift may be based on an actual episode within the oral tradition. Homer himself seems to hint at this link when he refers to the ‘grievous lust’ of Paris. The Homeric reference to the alternative gift was acknowledged by Herbert Rose in 1951, even though he rejected the line in Homer which mentioned the Judgement of Paris (Il. 24.30). This seeming contradiction of Rose's accepting the alternative gift while rejecting the Judgement makes his explanation rather atypical. His uncommon viewpoint, nevertheless, will allow us to identify the presence of this alternative gift in many literary and artistic works, whether explicitly mentioned, implied, or suggested.

伊利亚特中阿芙罗狄蒂的礼物 24.30

在著名的帕里斯选择故事中，他偏爱为他提供“强烈欲望”的女神（μαχλοσύνην ἀλɛγɛινήν）。这就是荷马告诉我们的伊尔. 24.30。人们并不经常注意到克拉提努斯（公元前 5 世纪）和卢锡安（公元 2 世纪）提到了另一项礼物——阿芙罗狄蒂的贿赂是为了让巴黎对女性无法抗拒。这个替代版本恰好与同一故事的几种文学和艺术表现形式高度对应，以暗示或暗示变体帐户的方式讲述它。本文认为，包含这种替代礼物的实例集可能基于口头传统中的实际事件。荷马本人在提到巴黎的“严重欲望”时似乎暗示了这种联系。Herbert Rose 在 1951 年承认荷马对另一种礼物的提及，尽管他拒绝了荷马中提到巴黎审判的行（伊尔. 24.30）。罗斯接受替代礼物而拒绝判决的这种表面上的矛盾使他的解释相当不典型。然而，他不寻常的观点将使我们能够在许多文学和艺术作品中识别出这种替代礼物的存在，无论是明确提及、暗示还是暗示。
