Description
Eris was the goddess or spirit (daimona) of strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was often represented specifically as the daimon of the strife of war, who haunted the battlefield and delighted in human bloodshed.
Because of Eris' disagreeable nature she was the only goddess not to be invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. When she turned up anyway, she was refused admittance and, in a rage, threw a golden apple amongst the goddesses inscribed "To the fairest." Three goddesses laid claim it, and in their rivalry brought about the events which led to the Trojan War.
Eris was closely identified with the war-goddess Enyo. Indeed Homer uses the names interchangeably. Her Roman name was Discordia.

You really have such an amazing grasp of colour, Angel, and how it is as much a part of the image's story as the characters or settings. Gorgeous array in this one! :)

Gonna have to spend some time here Angel, lots of cool images since I've been away, and some really cool mythology lessons! Love this one. I've always said that you have a talent for getting those expressions on those face so perfectly, and this one is no exception. Magnificent colors you've used in the sky and on Eris. Gorgeous.
