Extrait du document
(Discord) Greek The spirit or goddess of
strife; the sister of Ares, Eris accompanied him into
battle and helped to cause quarrels and lawlessness. In
Hesiod's poems, she is the daughter of Nyx (Night).
Later legends say that Eris helped to cause the Trojan
War by flinging her "apple of discord" among the
guests at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Three
jealous goddesses competed for the golden apple.
Paris awarded the prize to Aphrodite, goddess of
love and beauty.
