Hera & Aphrodite!

Two of the world's most famous goddesses, the Greek deity Aphrodite is the famed female patron of sexuality and beauty. At the same time, Hera is the Queen of the Gods and goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth. While Aphrodite's attractiveness is renowned worldwide, Hera is known for her motherliness but also her legendarily vengeful and vindictive nature. These two goddesses also have a competitive past; in the story of the "Judgement of Paris," they are pitted against each other in a beauty contest alongside the Goddess Athena. Aphrodite wins by briding Prince Paris with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen of Troy. This sets the stage for the Trojan War after Paris goes to claim his prize, with Goddess Athena even spitefully joining the Greeks to fight against Paris's Trojans after he snubbed her. However, the goddesses have set aside their differences, basking in the mutual appreciation of each other's beauty and charm instead of fighting for the approval of a petty mortal man.
