She was a daughter of Zeus , either by Leda or by Nemesis . Her brothers were the Dioscuri , and her sister was Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon . Helen was the wife of Menelaus . When Paris , son of Priam , was asked to decide which goddess was the most beautiful, he chose Aphrodite , who rewarded him with the most beautiful woman in the world.
