'A Greek word meaning 'for the prettiest one' which was inscribed on the Apple of Discord that essentially started the Trojan War.'
Well, I don't know anything about Ancient Greek (or modern Greek for that matter) but I'm assuming the above definition is correct. Does anyone know enough about the language to confirm?

καλλίστῃ (kalliste) in ancient Greek, but modern Greek pronunciation is kallisti indeed.

I'm fairly sure it was the Applie Pie of Discord with war breaking out after a disagreement over thickness of the crust.

Thanks Pro!
And thank you bilby.
Incidentally, I had an excellent Apple Pie yesterday. It was from McDonalds and the crust was thin and crispy...

If my family can be considered a microcosm of the world in general (which it shouldn't), the war was almost certainly over who was responsible for burning the pie crust.
