What role did Eris play int the writing of the illiod?
Eris, the Greek goddess of strife and discord, plays a pivotal role in the events that lead to the Trojan War, which is central to the narrative of the "Iliad." Her action of tossing the golden apple inscribed "To the fairest" among the goddesses sets off a competition between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, ultimately leading to Paris's choice of Aphrodite as the winner. This decision instigates a chain of events that culminates in the war, making Eris a catalyst for the epic's conflict and themes of honor, pride, and the consequences of choice. Thus, her influence is felt throughout the "Iliad," highlighting the interplay between divine and human actions.
