Eris was a member of the First Civilization,[1] the Ancient Greek goddess of strife and discord.
Contrary to mythology and, as explained by Rashid ad-Din Sinan, Eris used an Apple of Eden to start the Trojan War, as opposed to her guiles.[2]
Trivia
- Like her described nature, the name Eris, Ἔρις, is Greek for "strife".
- In Greek mythology, Eris used a golden apple to cause Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena to compete for the title of "the fairest one". The three contestants asked Zeus to be the judge, but he delegated this to a mortal man, Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy. The three goddesses each attempted to bribe Paris in exchange for his favor: he chose Aphrodite, who had promised him the "most beautiful woman in the world", Helen of Sparta. Due to these events, the Trojan War was later enacted.
