I thought that's The Golden Apple, but I dunno who would be the female in that case. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite, and she is displayed as blonde. But he gave the apple to her because she showed her Helen, so maybe they put her as Helen? I've no idea. Probably, Aphrodite.

E: I mean this one: https://www.greekboston.com/culture/mythology/golden-apple/

QuoteParis and the Trojan War

Many people are familiar with the story of the Trojan War, but according to mythology, the war was started by a golden apple. Zeus held a banquet but did not invite Eris, the goddess of discord. To show her displeasure, Eris arrived anyway and threw a golden apple. The apple read "for the most beautiful." Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all claimed that the apple must be for them. To settle the dispute, Zeus called on Paris to judge who should have the apple.

Each goddess offered Paris a great gift in return for saying that she was the most beautiful. Aphrodite offered Paris the love of Helen, the most beautiful human. Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite, and Helen fell in love with him. Helen, however, was already married to the king of Sparta. When Paris took Helen to Troy, the king vowed to find her, and the Trojan War began.

The fish part is something he wears when he wants to feel ... pretty.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Well, he usually feels pretty, but it tips the scales.
