eris jennifer 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 riendship 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. 991218 ... me? someday im gonna get a tshirt that says: my goddess gives better head than your god. 991218 ... gwyllynne we shall eat no hot dogs......why? 000706 ... misstree actually, i think you're giving eris a bit of a bad rap there... she is indeed the goddess of dischord, and she does indeed revel in trouble, but bloodshed and war isn't her real goal... no one's really sure what her goal is, or if she has one, but me personal opinion is that she messes with our heads for her own amusement... i'm not so sure about her origins, but the principia discordia says: "Her geneology is from the Greeks and is utterly confused. Either She was the twin of Ares and the daughter of Zeus and Hera; or She was the daughter of Nyx, goddess of night (who was either the daughter or wife of Chaos, or both), and Nyx's brother, Erebus, and whose brothers and sisters include Death, Doom, Mockery, and Friendship. And that She begat Forgetfullness, Quarrels, Lies, and a bunch of gods and goddesses like that." for the story of the golden apple, look under golden_apple... Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia! "I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free." -Eris, as quoted in the p.d. 001118 ...
