Eris

Eris is the Greek Goddess of chaos, discord, and strife. Her Roman counterpart is Discordia.
==History==
Eris was born from the protogenoi Nyx (Night) through parthenogenesis (even though Eris was born from a Primordial, she is not one herself. Eris is the personification of Strife). She drives the conflicts and disputes of both gods and men. Though despised by the Olympians, they respected her power.
===The Judgement of Paris===
When the Nereid Thetis was married to the mortal hero Peleus as a reward for his undying devotion to the gods, only Eris wasn't invited to attend the celebrations on Mount Pelion as a wedding is a joyous occasion and strife wouldn't be welcome there. Offended, she snuck into the dining hall and threw a golden apple that was inscribed: "For the fairest" in the midst of the gods. Every goddess claimed the fruit for themselves and the decision came down to three: Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera. Zeus was made the judge but he feared the prospect of having to judge the goddesses. Instead, he named a mortal, Paris of Troy, to preside over the three who each tried to bribe him for the apple.
In exchange of choosing them, the goddesses offered rewards to Paris: Hera promised him rule over Asia, Athena would give him wisdom in battle, and Aphrodite offered him the hand of the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris ultimately chose Aphrodite and with her aid, he wooed Zeus' daughter, Helen, and returned to Troy with her. Indignant, both Athena and Hera swore vengeance on Paris for scorning them and would play major roles in his downfall. Unfortunately for Paris, Helen was already married to King Menelaus of Sparta, who initiated a series of events that would destroy not only Paris and his family, but his people as well.
===Trojan War===
During the war, Eris rode into battle on the side of the Trojans, alongside Ares and Enyo. It was at Troy that she became known as the Lady of Sorrow. In one battle, she fought in the defense of Aphrodite’s son, Aeneas, but mostly roamed the battlefield to spread bloodshed and carnage among the warriors.
