Eris
Eris was 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.
Trivia
- Like her described nature, the name Eris, Ἔρις, is Greek for "strife".
- In Greek mythology, Eris used a golden apple to attract Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena to get the apple. As Eris requested, a judge must choose the righteous one for the apple and she chose Zeus as the judge. However, Zeus doesn't want his wife to be jealous if he favored another woman so he chose Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy, to take his place. As the three goddesses promised what will they give to Paris in return, the latter chose Aphrodite, which then suggested Paris to take Helen of Sparta. Thus, it started the Trojan War.
