Eris is the Greek goddess of
discord and strife. She is Ares' constant companion and
follows him everywhere. Eris is sinister and mean, and
her greatest joy is to make trouble. She has a golden
apple that is so bright and shiny everybody wants to have
it. When she throws it among friends, their friendship
come to a rapid end. When she throws it among enemies,
war breaks out, for the golden apple of Eris is the Apple
of Discord. She did this once during the wedding of
Peleus and Thetis, and this act brought about the Trojan
War. Eris is unpopular and frequently snubbed as a guest
by the other gods and mankind. This was not always a safe
thing to do.
