Eris

Entry:1

Hello, I am Eris. Goddess of strife. I love creating any kind of trouble. I am responsible for starting the Trojan war. When I threw that golden apple to "the fairest" at Thetis and Peleus' wedding in order to cause trouble a ruckus was caused. Then silly Zeus gave the apple to that fool Paris. And Paris being the foolish child he is took the bribe from Aphrodite, trading Helen like she's something to be bartered for. It is quite amusing how humans go to so much trouble over a silly woman. Although to those humans' credit she is supposedly the most beautiful mortal woman. But still, to start a war over the "beautiful" Helen. And all because of me- the best part in my eyes, the oh so great Achilles has fallen as a result of my handiwork. Oh how I loathe Achilles. He was born mortal but, as all humans, he had the want to become immortal. Lucky enough for him his mother, Thetis, was an immortal and thus brought him to the river Styx. Thus, immortal he became, but his foolish mother missed the one spot which would eventually be his downfall, his heel.

Once again it is I, the great Eris. I lately have been quite pleased by the turmoil Odysseus has been going through trying desperately to get home. But even though he was quite foolish to forget to sacrifice for Poseidon, it does not mean that he should keep Odysseus from his family for so long. Quite terrible actually. Not that I am complaining. After all I need something to entertain me during these long days since that fateful wedding. At that wedding, even though I was able to cause quite a bit of havoc I am still quite unhappy about the fact that I wasn’t invited. In fact if you really think about it, I am not the villain at all. In fact I think I might be the most innocent in all of this. The true villains are that dreadful couple- Thetis and Peleus! I was just minding my own business, not doing anything to anyone, and then- WHAM! they don’t invite me to their wedding. What was I supposed to do, sit back and take it? I guess it is not really important, what is done, is done.

I hate Zeus, he is an absolute fool!!! I told him my ideas on who was at fault for the Trojan war being started, and how I think it was Peleus and Thetis' fault. But Zeus refused to even listen! He kept going on about how they did not invite me because they thought I would create trouble. Then their plan to stop trouble led to my starting one of the biggest problems ever! But I guess if he decides to be a stuck up fool then that is his choice but I refuse to take that from him! Zeus can be so arrogant sometimes- and then what does he do, he shuffles the blame towards me. I may be the Goddess of Strife but that doesn’t make me an idiot.
