Eris

Eris' Apple of Discord

Eris is the goddess of discord and strife. She is Ares' constant companion on the battlefield and follows him everywhere. She is sinister and mean, and loves nothing better than to cause trouble. She has a golden apple that she can throw among people, and their friendships quickly come to an end. This apple is called the Apple of Discord. During the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, she was the only god not invited. She came down and put the apple on the table. This action brought around the Trojan war.
