Eris (Ερις meaning ‘Strife’) was the goddess of strife, discord, contention and rivalry in Greek mythology. She was often portrayed as the daimona (personified spirit) of the strife of war, haunting the battlefield and delighting in human bloodshed. Because of her disagreeable nature she was the only goddess not to be invited to the wedding of Peleus (king of Phthia) and Thetis (goddess of the sea). Regardless Eris still turned up but was refused admittance, which enraged her so much that she threw a golden apple amongst the goddesses inscribed ‘To The Fairest.’ Hera, Aphrodite and Athena all laid claim to it and in their rivalry they brought about the events leading up to the Trojan War.
