Myth of Eris

The Myth of Eris is a story from Greek mythology about the goddess of chaos and discord. It explains how Eris, feeling left out of a celebration, threw a golden apple inscribed "To the fairest" among the gods. This act led to a dispute among Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena over who was the most beautiful, ultimately causing the Trojan War. The myth illustrates how internal conflicts and envy can trigger significant events, highlighting the destructive potential of discord and rivalry.
