The tales of Greek mythology have always fascinated me. An intricate tapestry of gods, mortals, and the forces that bind them. These stories are not merely relics of an ancient world; they are reflections of humanity's deepest fears, hopes, and flaws. Among these myths, one figure has always intrigued me more than any other: Eris, the goddess of discord.
Often overshadowed by more celebrated deities, Eris is depicted as the bringer of chaos, the outcast whose actions unravel the threads of harmony. But who is she beyond the myths? Is she simply a harbinger of destruction, or is she a misunderstood force of change? This book seeks to explore the life and legacy of Eris, delving into her role as both instigator and scapegoat in the stories that have shaped our cultural imagination.
Through Seeds of Discord: The Life of Eris, I aim to give voice to a figure who has been both maligned and marginalized, inviting readers to see her not just as a goddess of strife but as a complex, multifaceted character. In doing so, I hope to honor my unending love for Greek mythology and its ability to hold a mirror to the human condition.
Thank you for joining me on this journey into the life of Eris, an outcast, a provocateur, and a force of nature.
