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.
