Eris is the goddess of strife and chaos, and is the creator of the Golden Apple of Discord famously written in the story of the Trojan War.
History[]
Her Roman counterpart is Discordia. In ancient myth she is also identified with the Greek goddess Adrestia]. When Queen Hippolyta agreed to open Themyscira to Man's World, Eris used the apples to make the various United Nations dignitaries fight among one another. Wonder Woman was able to defeat Eris but the event caused a negative outlook to the Amazons by the outsiders and Eris' plans thus stayed on her side despite her defeat.
Eris was later killed by the Son of vulcan during the War of the Gods storyline. Her spirit resurfaced years later as part of a plot engineered by her also dead brothers Phobos and Deimos to merge Gotham City with the Aeropagus, Ares' throne capital. Eris possessed the super villain Poison Ivy while her brothers possessed the Joker and the Scarecrow They were later defeated by the combined efforts of Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin, Trioa, Wonder Girl, Nightwing, Artemis, and the Huntress.
