The Goddess of Discord

Name: The Goddess of Discord
Creator: Eris

Description:
Everyone has heard of the Trojan War.  But did you know, that I was the one who started it?  Did you know that I only did it because I was the only immortal NOT invited to a wedding celebration?  Did you know that it was because I was considered "inauspicious"?  Yeah, most likely not.

The Story:

1. The wedding of the sea-goddess Thetis to mortal Peleus was a grand affair to which every god and goddess, except Eris, was invited to.
2. Angry that she was not invited, Eris decided to cause some trouble in revenge.
3. Taking a golden apple (soon to be known as the Golden Apple of Discord), Eris wrote "Καλλίστη", "For the Fairest".
4. Eris sneaked into the party and tossed the apple in the company of three powerful goddesses, Athena,  Hera, and Aphrodite, who immediately tried to claim it for their own.
5. The three goddesses couldn't agree on who deserved the apple, so they asked Zeus to judge; Zeus didn't want to get involved, so he appointed a mortal named Paris to do it in his place.
6. To appeal to Paris, the three goddesses promised him something; Athena promised to make him a great war general, Hera offered to make him the ruler of a powerful kingdom, and Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world.
7. Paris chose Aphrodite, hoping to gain the hand of the goddess herself.  Unfortunately, for him, Aphrodite was a goddess, and she had promised him a woman.
8. To keep her promise, Aphrodite gave him Helen of Sparta, who was already married to King Menelaus and had borne him a daughter, Hermione.
9. Paris visited Helen in Sparta, and while Menelaus was away attending a funeral, he eloped with Helen back to his home, Troy.
10. When Menelaus came back and found his wife and Paris gone, he mustered a great army with help of his brother King Agamemnon of Mycenae, and went to Troy to get Helen back.
11. And the rest, is history.
