ERIS

Roman Discordia in Greco-Roman mythology, the personification of strife, daughter of Nyx, and sister and companion of Ares, or the Roman Mars. Eris is best known for her part in starting the Trojan War. When she alone of the gods was not invited to the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, she threw among the guests a golden apple inscribed For the most beautiful. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each claimed it, and Zeus assigned the decision to Paris. Paris awarded the apple to Aphrodite, who then helped him win Helen of Troy. In the war that resulted, Hera and Athena remained implacable enemies of Troy.
