Eris is the goddess of strife and chaos, In the series she is Aphrodite's daughter, and Cronus' granddaughter.
Physical Appearance[]
During a comic appearance in Applet of Discord, Eris was dressed in traditional Greek attire. Now in the modern time, she has a pink mohawk with a dark undercut, a black spaghetti strap top, green shorts, stripped socks/stockings, and platform shoes.
Personality[]
Eris appears as a teenage punk who decides to wreak havoc on New Olympia with a magic cell phone ringer she received from Cronus. She describes herself as a "girl who's into anarchy and chaos and sunset walks through battle torn wastelands" and the "face that launched a thousand wars" and enjoys graffiti art. Her powers affect both the heroes and gods, causing the heroes to argue instead of working together. While Odie attempts to find the Goddess Harmony fix the problems caused by Eris, the others are forced to overcome the spell Eris has cast in order to stop her.
Her symbol is the golden apple, as it represents temptation and chaos. She was the one who caused the Trojan war when she wasn't invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis and threw the golden apple at her mother Aphrodite, and that was where she claimed her title as the fairest goddess of the gods. In turn Aphrodite accidentally contributed to the Trojan War and her daughter's curse as she made the bride fall in love with someone else, thus helping her daughter's desire for revenge come true.
Mythology[]
Paris
All The Gods were invited to the marriage of Peleus and Thetis (Achilles' Parents). Only Eris, goddess of discord, was not invited. Annoyed, she arrived with a golden apple inscribed with the word "for the fairest" and threw it among the goddesses. Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena all insisted they were the rightful owner of the apple.
The goddesses brought the matter before Zeus, who, not wanting to favor anyone, gave the task to the Trojan prince Paris. Paris could not decide between them, so they resorted to bribes. Hera offered power over all Asia and Europe, and Athena offered wisdom, fame and glory in battle, but Aphrodite promised Paris promised the most beautiful woman on earth. Helen of Troy, who was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta. Paris selected Aphrodite and awarded her the apple. The other two goddesses were enraged and, as a direct result, sided with the Greeks in The Trojan War.
Trivia[]
