Eris was one of Those Who Came Before, worshipped by the Ancient Greeks as the goddess of strife.

Circa the 13th or 12th century, Eris gave the Apple of Discord (the first Apple), marked for the "fairest", to Athena, Hera and Aphrodite, which led to a quarrel between the three. Zeus sent the three to Paris of Troy, who chose Aphrodite to be the fairest. As a reward, Aphrodite had Helen fall in love with Paris and she moved to Troy, which enraged Helen's husband Menelaus and led to the Trojan War.
