In "The Iliad," Eris, the goddess of discord, upsets the party at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis by tossing a golden apple inscribed with "to the fairest" into the gathering. This act ignites a rivalry among the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, each claiming the apple for herself. Their dispute ultimately leads to the judgment of Paris, which sets off a chain of events resulting in the Trojan War. Eris's interference highlights the theme of jealousy and the chaos it brings to both divine and mortal realms.
