What I find interesting in Greek mythology is that Eris, the goddess of chaos, strife, rivalry & discord has two origin myths.

One version claims she's the daughter of Nyx, the primordial goddess of night, which would make Eris the sister of Thanatos(death), Hypnos(Sleep) ,etc.

But in the other version she is the daughter of Zeus & Hera, the king and queen of the greek gods. And if we follow that version of the family tree that would mean that Eris is the aunt of Harmonia, the goddess of harmony.

She would also be Aphrodite's sister in law, since Eris is Ares's sister.

A major myth Eris was featured in was the myth of the wedding of Thetys & Peleus, who were Achilles's parents.

In the myth Eris was not envited to the wedding, so in anger she creates the artifact now known as the golden apple of discord. On the apple she carves the words "for the fairest" and then proceeds to "accidentally" drop it on the banquet table of the Olympian gods as she flies over it.

This would ofcourse lead to a chain of events that would lead to the major event known as the Trojan war.

In another myth, Eris puts an apple on the path of the hero Herakles. Herakles tries to smash the apple with his club, but instead it grows to twice its original size. Herakles keeps hitting it, until the apple gets so big it's straight up blocking his path. Athena then tells Herakles that the more he hits it, the bigger the apple will get, and if he had just left it alone, it would've stayed it's original size.

List of Eris's children:

-Ponos, god of toil

-Lethe, goddess of forgetfulness

-Limos, goddess of starvation

- the Algea, spirits of pain

-the Hysminai, spirits of fights

-the Makhai, spirits of battle

-the Phonoi, spirits of murder

-the Androktasiai, spirits of manslaughter

-the Neikea, spirits of quarrel

-the Pseudo-Logoi, spirits of lies

-the Amphilogiai, spirits of disputes

-Dysnomia, goddess of lawlessness

-Ate, goddess of ruin

-Horkos, god of oaths

Eris (altgriechisch Ἔρις Éris, auf einer Vase mit der Beischrift Ἴρις Íris bezeichnet; Personifikation von ἔρις éris, deutsch ‚Streit, Zank‘) ist in der griechischen Mythologie die Göttin der Zwietracht und des Streites. Sie ist Tochter der Nyx, gilt auch als Schwester des Ares. Eris wurde aus der griechischen in die römische Mythologie als Discordia („Zwietracht“) übernommen.

Sie ist bekannt durch den goldenen „Apfel der Zwietracht“ (den sprichwörtlichen „Zankapfel“ oder „Erisapfel“), den sie auf der Hochzeit des Peleus und der Thetis, zu der sie nicht eingeladen war, unter die Gäste warf. Auf diesem Apfel war die Widmung τῇ καλλίστῃ tḗ kallístē eingraviert, das bedeutet „der Schönsten“. Aphrodite, Athene und Hera begannen, um den Apfel zu streiten. Auf Anweisung des Zeus führte Hermes die drei zu Paris; dieser solle ihn der schönsten der drei Göttinnen geben. Paris entschied sich für Aphrodite, die ihm die schönste Frau der Welt versprochen hatte. Es erwies sich aber, dass sie bereits verheiratet war: Helena, die Frau des Königs von Sparta Menelaos. Ihre Entführung durch Paris löste dann den Trojanischen Krieg aus.

Eris erscheint oft als hinkende, zusammengeschrumpelte, kleine Frau. Erst wenn sie es schafft, den Neid und den Hass der Menschen zu wecken, erblüht sie zu ihrer wahren Gestalt. Homer schreibt über sie in der Ilias: „... die rastlos lechzende Eris ..., die erst klein von Gestalt einherschleicht; aber in kurzem trägt sie hoch an den Himmel ihr Haupt, und geht auf der Erde. Diese nun streuete Zank zu gemeinsamem Weh in die Mitte, wandelnd von Schar zu Schar, das Geseufz’ der Männer vermehrend.“

In Werke und Tage des Hesiod ist neben der zänkischen Eris auch noch eine „gute“ angeführt, die den Menschen zur Arbeit anspornt.

In Hesiods Theogonie werden als Nachkommen der Eris genannt:

Ponos (Πόνος Pónos, deutsch ‚die Mühsal‘)

Lethe (Λήθη Lḗthē, deutsch ‚die Vergessenheit‘)

Limos (Λιμός Limós, deutsch ‚der Hunger‘)

Algea (Ἄλγεα Álgea, deutsch ‚der Schmerz‘)

Hysminai (Ὑσμίναι Hysmínai, deutsch ‚die Schlachten‘)

Makhai (Μάχαι Máchai, deutsch ‚die Kämpfe‘)

Phonoi (Φόνος Phónos, deutsch ‚der Mord‘)

Androktasiai (Ἀνδροκτασίας Androktasías, deutsch ‚das Gemetzel‘)

Neikea (Νείκεα Neíkea, deutsch ‚der Hader‘)

Pseudea (Ψεύδεα Pseúdea, deutsch ‚die Lüge‘)

Amphilogiai (Ἀμφιλογίαι Amphilogíai, deutsch ‚der Wortstreit‘)

Dysnomia (Δυσνομία Dysnomía, deutsch ‚die Gesetzlosigkeit‘)

Ate (Ἄτη Átē, deutsch ‚die Verblendung‘)

Horkos (Ὅρκος Hórkos, deutsch ‚der Eid‘)

Eine postmoderne Rezeption des von Eris vertretenen Prinzips findet sich in der Religion des Diskordianismus, der vor allem durch die Romantrilogie Illuminatus! von Robert Shea und Robert Anton Wilson bekannt wurde.

Die Zwietracht (franz. La Discorde) ist eine Fabel von Jean de La Fontaine.

Nach der Göttin der Zwietracht ist auch der Zwergplanet Eris benannt, dessen Entdeckung zu einem Streit um die Neudefinition des Begriffs „Planet“ und der kontrovers diskutierten Aberkennung des Planetenstatus von Pluto geführt hatte. Der Zwergplanet wurde so metaphorisch zum Zankapfel der Astronomen.

Eristik (abgeleitet von altgriechisch ἐριστικὴ (τέχνη) eristiké (téchne) zu ἐριστικός eristikós „streitsüchtig“ und τέχνη téchne „Kunst“) wird heute als eine Lehre vom Streitgespräch und die Kunst der Widerlegung in einer Diskussion oder Debatte verstanden. Der Begriff findet sich in der Neuzeit erstmals bei Arthur Schopenhauer in seinem postum veröffentlichten Werk „Eristische Dialektik“. Schopenhauer stellt sie in einen Zusammenhang mit Dialektik und Rhetorik einerseits sowie Analytik (Logik) und Philosophie andererseits und führt diesen insgesamt auf Aristoteles zurück.

In der griechischen Mythologie war Eris die Göttin der Zwietracht und des Streites. In der Philosophie der Antike verwendeten Platon und Aristoteles Eristik als Begriff für den wissenschaftlichen Meinungsstreit, insbesondere aber auch für das Streiten um des Rechthabens willen. Sie meinten damit die von den Sophisten entwickelte Dialogtechnik, mit der – beispielsweise in gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzungen – alles bewiesen oder auch alles widerlegt werden konnte. Platon favorisierte stattdessen als gerechtfertigtes Argumentationsverfahren die von Zenon von Elea entwickelte Dialektik. Aristoteles bewertete die Eristik ebenfalls negativ und zählte den eristischen Syllogismus zu den Sophismen (Trugschlüssen).

Die Megariker, die Anhänger des Sokrates-Schülers Euklid von Megara, wurden auch als Eristiker bezeichnet. Von ihnen stammen die frühesten Untersuchungen zur formalen Logik, insofern ist der Begriff Eristik im Zusammenhang mit der antiken Philosophie keinesfalls nur negativ besetzt. Er bezieht sich auch auf eine Struktur des gültigen Beweises und seine Widerlegung.

Diskordianismus (von lateinisch: discordia „Zwietracht“) und davon abgeleitete Varianten wie die Church of the SubGenius sind seit den 1980er Jahren verbreitete Parodiereligionen. Angeblich wurde der Diskordianismus 1957 erfunden. Der maßgebliche Text wurde vermutlich ab 1979 anonym erstellt und als sogenannte Principia Discordia veröffentlicht, unter Berufung auf den amerikanischen Autor Robert Anton Wilson und dessen Romantrilogie Illuminatus! (1975). Diskordianer sind dort Leute, die gegen die Vorherrschaft der Illuminaten kämpfen. Zunächst als Fankultur gepflegt, hat sich der Diskordianismus als Religion verselbstständigt. Manche sehen solche Spassreligionen als Folge neuheidnischer Strömungen.

Es gibt keine festgefügten Inhalte des Diskordianismus. Die auf Webseiten und in Büchern veröffentlichten Angaben zu Jahren, Personen, Gruppierungen sind frei erfunden. Ein relativ konstantes Merkmal ist die Missachtung von Autoritäten und Zwang. So ernannte Wilson alle Zuhörer seiner Vorträge zu „diskordianischen Päpsten“. Diskordier bestreiten objektive Wahrheiten. Sie lieben die Widersprüche, denn diese zeigen Grenzen der Logik auf. Um mit Widersprüchen umzugehen, muss man das übliche logische Denken überwinden und dem Geist neue Freiheiten geben. Jemand, der gegen die Unordnung wettert und dabei unterschlägt, dass in der Unordnung auch Kreativität steckt, wird gern als Graugesicht oder als aneristisch bezeichnet.

Das Sacred Chao (heiliges Chao) ist ein Symbol des Diskordianismus. Das Wort Chao soll für die Singularform von Chaos stehen; die Aussprache sei gleichlautend mit dem englischen Wort cow (Kuh), ein spielerischer Bezug auf die Redewendung „Holy Cow“, Heilige Kuh. Das Pentagon repräsentiert das Gesetz der Fünf und steht für Autorität und Ordnung; der golden dargestellte Zankapfel der Eris, mit dem sie den Trojanischen Krieg auslöste, steht für Kreativität, Chaos und Zwietracht.

Gesetz der Fünf

Das diskordianische Gesetz der Fünf besagt, dass alles, was im Universum geschieht, in irgendeiner Art und Weise bzw. Form mit der Zahl Fünf oder einem Vielfachen von Fünf zusammenhängt. So sei zum Beispiel auch die oft erwähnte Dreiundzwanzig ein Teil des Fünfer-Gesetzes, denn 2 + 3 = 5. Wie bei der 23 ist es möglich, dass Menschen, die sich mit dem Fünfer-Gesetz beschäftigen, auf die Wahrnehmung der Zahl Fünf konditioniert werden und somit meinen, diese Zahl öfter als zuvor zu sehen.

Der Pentabarf (die fünf Gebote)

Der Pentabarf (Penta gr. „fünf“, barf engl. „kotzen“) wurde laut der Principia Discordia „vom Apostel Zarathud in einen goldenen Stein gemeißelt aufgefunden“ und verdeutlicht die Vorliebe der Diskordier für das Paradoxe:

Es gibt keine Göttin außer der Göttin, und sie ist deine Göttin. Es gibt keine Erisische Bewegung außer der Erisischen Bewegung, und sie ist die Erisische Bewegung. Und jeder goldene Apfel ist das geliebte Heim eines Goldenen Wurmes.

Ein Diskordier soll immer das offizielle diskordische Dokumentennummerierungssystem benutzen.

Ein Diskordier ist zu Beginn seiner Illumination dazu verpflichtet, an einem Freitag allein nach draußen zu gehen, um fröhlich einen Hot Dog zu genießen; diese Zeremonie ist dazu da, um gegen die beliebten Heidentümer dieser Tage zu demonstrieren: gegen die katholische Christenheit (freitags kein Fleisch), das Judentum und den Islam (kein Fleisch vom Schwein), den Hinduismus (kein Fleisch von der Kuh), den Buddhismus (kein Fleisch von Tieren) und den Diskordianismus (keine Hot-Dog-Brötchen).

Ein Diskordier soll keine Hot-Dog-Brötchen essen, denn diese waren der Trost der Göttin, als sie mit der ursprünglichen Zurückweisung konfrontiert war.

Einem Diskordier ist es verboten, zu glauben, was er liest.

Kalender

Im Diskordianischen Kalender besteht das Jahr aus fünf Jahreszeiten (Chaos, Zwietracht, Verwirrung, Bürokratie und die Nachwirkung), die Woche aus fünf Wochentagen (Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-Prickle und Setting Orange), und es gibt 2 × 5 Feiertage (Holydays). In Schaltjahren wird am Schalttag der Tag des „Sankt Tib“ eingefügt, der außerhalb aller Zählungen (Wochentage, Jahreszeiten) steht. Das aktuelle diskordianische Datum kann man sich bei vielen Linux-Distributionen mit der Eingabe von „ddate“ anzeigen lassen.

Tarot

Es gibt auch Entwürfe für ein aus 73 Karten (23 Trümpfe und je 5 Zahl- und 5 Themenkarten für jedes der 5 diskordischen Elemente) bestehendes „freies“ Tarot-Set, das die diskordische Dada-Mystik aufnimmt. Eine gedruckte Version gibt es davon bislang nicht.

I don’t want to ditch on TV Tropes cause I love the website, but I have to say, when it comes to the “Classical Mythology” character pages, there’s a real problem.

I mean... they give specific entries for things like the Algea and the Amphilogiai, which are just poetic personifications used once in a poem, not even regular Greek gods, just the capitalization of a common word by Hesiod... 

And yet when it comes to the Roman gods (which are placed in a “Minor gods” section because of course Roman mythology comes second), deities like Janus have only two lines - when in truth Janus was such an important and powerful deity he was considered to be the equal of what the Greeks called the “Olympians”. 

There’s a real unbalance in there - I would love to correct it, but unfortunately I don’t have enough time

Eris

Greek goddess of discord, enmity, and strife

Eris (Roman: Discordia) is one of the most malignant goddesses and represents all that brings hatred, distrust, and suffering into existence. From my workings with this goddess’ mother and my own encounters with Eris, I have documented a more in-depth account of the treacherous nature of this goddess. The origin of Eris is as a daughter of Nyx (goddess of night) and Erebus (god of darkness). While neither Nyx or Erebus are malicious deities, Eris by her own nature became full of animosity and violence towards others. Other children of Nyx were born, but it is her daughter, Philotes, who is the counterbalance to Eris. Since Philotes is the goddess of unity and represents all that causes love, compassion, and harmony in existence, she seeks to mend and fight against the harm caused by her half-sister, Eris.

Although Eris loves no-one, she has still had brief lovers and has birthed several children as a result. Her children are sometimes Kakodaimones (tar spirits) which are malevolent entities of tar that plague mankind and seek to destroy lives. Other children of Eris are monstrous-looking beings of cruelty that represent the aftermaths of discord. Some of these have been Ponos (Toil), Lethe (Forgetfulness), Limos (Starvation), the Algea (Pains), the Hysminai (Fightings), the Makhai (Battles), the Phonoi (Murders), the Androktasiai (Man-slaughters), the Neikea (Quarrels), the Pseudo-Logoi (Lies), the Amphilogiai (Disputes), Dysnomia (Lawlessness), and Ate (Ruin).

Mythology: The main mythology Eris is mentioned in is the story of the golden apple. While this myth is embellished of course (as the majority of myths are), it is still based upon a true event that Eris had caused. The story goes that because of Eris’ reputation, she was the only goddess to not be invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. The goddess spitefully showed up anyway but was refused admittance, so she went into a fit of rage and created a golden apple- upon it was inscribed “To the fairest”. This apple was imbued with Eris’ energy of discord and as soon as she threw it, it immediately struck competition and jealousy into the hearts of the other goddesses. The three who laid claim upon the golden apple were Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite- each fought over who was most deserving of this prize. In the end, Aphrodite was awarded the apple after offering Paris to have Helene as a bride, an offer he could not refuse. Yet even this action ended up causing even more strife since it sparked the Trojan War.

Although despite what the Greeks had assumed, Eris is neither a sister or friend of Ares, but they are actually enemies. According to Ares, this is not just because Eris only uses people for her own gain, but also because she is the one who told Hephaestus of his affair with Aphrodite, causing them to be caught and humiliated. The only deity Eris has ever made a sort of “partnership” with has been Loki, since they both may seldom work together to bring rivalry and betrayals among humans. The two of them also act very similar to one another and employ many of the same tactics.

Appearance: Eris appears a seductive woman with amber eyes, long black hair, and pale skin. She wears black dresses when alone, but when among others, she likes to wear colourful clothing that best suits how she wishes to have others view her.

Personality: Eris is completely dangerous and cannot be made as an ally. She is selfish, cold, cruel, vindictive, deceitful, sadistic, and is a master of manipulation. She is also willing to employ any means available to have her way, including temptation, seduction, manipulation, deception, betrayal, emotional abuse, physical attacks, killing, etc. Eris can even create beautiful objects in order to bribe people into doing harmful things or cause other chaos (as shown with the golden apple). Because of all her corrupt deeds, the gods had long ago banished Eris from staying upon the Earth, forcing her out into the vastness of space where she made her home in an isolated spirit-dimension. Although Eris will sometimes return and glide through the Earth’s atmosphere, causing humans and deities alike to become suddenly prone to arguments and wars. She greatly delights in the suffering of others and hates seeing anything that is pleasant; if she has the chance, she seeks to destroy such enjoyable things in whatever way she can. Be it a bloodied battlefield, a gruesome murder, or a destroyed relationship, Eris will be laughing.

For those who try to communicate or work with Eris, their lives are eventually ruined in some way or they end up losing something that was precious to them. Be wary that this goddess does not represent the totality of chaos, only the unnecessary aspects of it and the maliciousness of egocentrism. She loves to have people work with her or adore her only so she can stab them in the back and gloat over their heartbreak; but plenty of times she causes strife to people who don’t work with her at all. But by working with this goddess, it only assures that her attention will be fixated on you rather than possibly being targeted for temporary fun (which might only cause one fight to break out). Some common things that Eris likes to cause are making partners cheat on each other or have frequent fights, destroying careers, having malicious rumours spread, family infighting, tearing apart friendships, causing battles, and belittling people. If she cannot manipulate a person, Eris herself often likes to say malicious words in order to make people feel horrible about themselves, even to the point of depression.

So overall, this goddess only desires a world where everyone and everything is in ruins, to the point where everyone hates each other and there is no compassion or pleasure for anything. Only rivalries and egotistical actions would remain. It is therefore best to remain cautious and to not put trust into this deity who embodies such things, she is not worth the risk. If you need help in maintaining harmony within your life, Philotes can always be worked with since she is a force of unity.

Machai

In Greek mythology, the Machae /ˈmækiː/ or Machai (Greek: Μάχαι Mákhai, "battles"; singular: Μάχη Mákhē) were the daemons (spirits) of battle and combat, and were sons or daughters of Eris, siblings to other vicious personifications like the Hysminai, the Androktasiai, and the Phonoi.

The daemons Homados (Battle-Noise), Alala (War-Cry), Proioxis (Onrush), Palioxis (Backrush) and Kydoimos (Confusion) were closely associated with the Makhai.

The Makhai were accompanied in battlefields by other deities and spirits associated with war and death, such as Ares, Phobos, Deimos, the Keres, Polemos, Enyo, and their mother Eris the goddess of discord.

Siblings

Been an offspring of Eris and been absent of a father, the Makhai are siblings of the Ponos (Toil), the Lethe (Forgetfulness), the Limos (Starvation), the Algea (Pains), the Hysminai (Fightings), the Phonoi (Murders) and the Androktasiai (Manslaughters), the Neikea (Quarrels), the Pseudo-Logoi (Lies), the Amphilogiai (Disputes), and Dysnomia (Lawlessness) and Ate (Ruin), who share one another's natures, and Horkos (Oath).

Eris, the Daimona (personified spirit) of strife and discord, daughter of Nyx, mother of the Kakodaimones (spirits of the woes and evils of mankind) and famously the contriver of the Trojan War.

"But abhorred Eris (Strife) bare painful Ponos (Toil), and Lethe (Forgetfulness), and Limos (Starvation), and the Algea (Pains), full of weeping, the Hysminai (Fightings) and the Makhai (Battles), the Phonoi (Murders) and the Androktasiai (Man-slaughters), the Neikea (Quarrels), the Pseudo-Logoi (Lies), the Amphilogiai (Disputes), and Dysnomia (Lawlessness) and Ate (Ruin), who share one another's natures, and Horkos (Oath) who does more damage than any other to earthly men, when anyone, of his knowledge, swears to a false oath."

The Goddess Of Mischief

Atë is the greek goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and folly. She is also known for rash actions, reckless impulses, and infatuation

In most stories, she is the daughter of Zeus and in others, she is the daughter of Eris. This goddess does not have many stories made about her, therefore making her a lesser-known goddess and putting her as our first informative post!

Atë, pronounced aah-tay, induced rash and destructive actions on both men and gods, making her pretty much hated by all.

She has numerous siblings, including Horcus, Ponus, Alega, the Hysminai, the Makhai, the Phonoi, the Androktasiai, the Neikea, the Pseudologoi, the Amphilogiai, Dysnomia, Limos, and Lethe.

On the day of Heracles birth, Atë made Zeus take an oath: The child born of his lineage that day would rule “over all those dwelling about him”

Zeus’s wife, Hera, made the goddess of childbirth,  Eileithyia, delay Heracles birth, causing Eurystheus to take Heracles place, leaving Heracles as his subject. Zeus, knowing he was deceived, threw Atë off Mount Olympus. She roamed Earth, causing harm and mischief. Zeus sent the Litai to earth, and they followed the goddess around repairing all harm she had caused.

Eris

Eris is the Goddess of chaos, strife, and discord. Her Roman form is Discordia. There are many variants on who her parents might be. Some say it was just Nyx who gave birth to her, while others claim it was Nyx and Erebus. Some still think it was Zeus and Hera. She had many children, mainly thought to be Dysnomia, Atë, Lethe, Limos, Algos, Hysminai, Makhai, Phonoi, Androktasiai, Neikea, Pseudea, Logoi, Amphilogiai, and Horkos.

Not much is known in the way of symbols or offerings for Eris. Anything you associate with chaos, strife, and discord or as the opposite of harmony would probably be acceptable. If you're interested in learning more about her worship or things that might be associated with her, then look into Discordianism.

Things to Pray for: discord in someone else's life or relationships, strife, chaos, discord, disruption in an organization, disruption of a political viewpoint, anarchy

Prayers Sing now, my muse, of the Goddess of Chaos, Arising from primeval Quantum foam born, Goddess of Entropy, Goddess of Anarchy, She who creates and destroys innumerable cosmos In the gap between dawn and the rise of the sun, She who dances between unseen fractal dimensions, In a small still place all enfolded in storm, Lover of Death and Lover of Life,

She dances a dance on the edge of a knife, Singularity bound, in a teardrop of light, Immortal Chaos wreathed with broken planets and dust, Thy name is Eris, world shattering Goddess,

The sound of a bell in an dark empty cavern, The scent of a rose in a room long abandoned, The dance of the motes in the eye of the Goddess, The touch of a breeze in the heat of the noon, The taste of wine from an ancient tomb Most terrible and most beautiful name of the Goddess, Eris!

Invocation Homage to thee, O Eris, at thy beautiful chaos. Of all that is Sweet, of all that is Bitter, thou hast domination over all. Hail Eris! Hail Discordia! O divine madness, self-created, self-anointed, self-serve, thou art Goddess of Heaven, and Earth, thou did create beings celestial and terrestrial. Live thou in me, and I in thee, O thou Golden Apple of the Sun!

Horkus

Horkos was the personification of the curse that would befall upon any person that broke an oath they had taken. He was a god, the son of the goddess Eris (strife), and brother of Ponos, Limos, Algea, the Hysminai, the Makhai, the Phonoi, the Androktasiai, the Neikea, the Pseudologoi, the Amphilogiai, Dysnomia, Ate, and Lethe. They were all personifications of wrong doings or negative situations, such as pain, fights, murder, lies and forgetfulness.

Horkos made an appearance in one of Aesop's Fables, in which a man asked a friend to lend him money, without intending to return it. His friend told him to swear that he would return it some day, so he decided to leave from the town. On his way, he saw a man who told him he was Horkos and his mission was to hunt bad people. Horkos also told him that he returned to the town every thirty or forty years. Happy that Horkos would not return for so long, the man went back to his friend and claimed he had never received any money. On that same day, Horkos returned and dragged him to the edge of the cliff, saying that if he was provoked, he would return on the same day.

The Androktasia

The Androktasia or Androctasia, literally meaning battle killings, are female daimons of battle slaughter and daughters of Eris alone according to Hesoid's Theogony. They are often associated with the Keres (daimons of violent or cruel death) and often accompanied them, Eris (goddess or daimon of discord and strife), and the Makhai (daimons of combat) on the battlefield. In Hesiod's Theogony they are said to share the same nature as Eris and their siblings Ponos (pain), Lethe (forgetfulness), the Hysminae (combat), the Makhai (battle), Limos (starvation), the Algea (pain), the Phoni (murder), the Neikea (quarrels), the Pseudologoi (lies), the Amphilogiai (disputes), Dysnomia (lawlessness) and Ate (ruin). They are said to be depicted on the Shield of Herakles in Hesoid's Shield of Herakles.

...okay but imagine a Percy Jackson Sides AU i have so many feelings

(side note that there are so!! many!! ways!! to think of this. it’s amazing. i love it. give me all the demigod Sides. this is up for so much discussion if you want I’m always down to hear it.)

I see Virgil as- among many possibilities- a son of Hecate. Hecate is an older goddess- not one of the main 12, but older, and powerful, and loved by Zeus. She’s the goddess of witchcraft, the moon, nighttime, necromancy, ghosts, and the crossroads. I think that filters in just enough ~spookiness~ and the idea of decision-making; where Anxiety always sees possible outcomes and decisions to every action. Putting Virgil in Hades’ (or Phobos’) house to me is a lot like throwing him in Slytherin- all of the spook, but ignoring some big truths. The sides always mention Anxiety’s presence in Thomas’ decision-making, which steers me to call him a child of the crossroads goddess. 

With Roman, I’m stuck between a son of Aphrodite, Dionysus, and Apollo. His romantic side would be perfect for Aphrodite- gallivanting off to save the damsel in distress is the perfect example of a brazen, heroic child of the goddess of love. Dionysus fits well, too- because, well, theatre! Roman is obviously the most theatrically-inclined side and could entertain anybody with his performances... but Dionysus has a little too much of an alcoholic influence for Roman to fit perfectly- at least in my mind. Roman is an actor, sure- but to me he’s not a partier, per se. He has more creativity in his personality... which is why Apollo fits so well, too. Why? Well, not only is Apollo the god of music, the sun, and poetry, but he’s also the leader of the Muses. You know. The nine inspirational goddesses of literature and the arts? The goddesses of epic poetry, lyric poetry, love poetry, tragedy, hymns, dance, and comedy? Roman practically is a Muse.

... but Roman could also be the son of Techne- the goddess of art, craft, invention, and skill. Not only would he flex his creative muscle like nothing you’d ever seen, but if Roman wanted to be talented in something, then man, he would be talented. 

As for Logic? If we want to make it easy, we go with Athena. Cool. Calculating. Wise. Logical... but we’re not done. Oh, no. Not only do I have to recognize Logan as the goofball he can also be (Crofter’s, anyone?), I have to point out the other things he symbolizes; I haven’t necessarily picked their strongest traits to be their godly parent (since I’m a firm believer in the non-parental-carbon-copy, find-yourself-via-character-arc version of PJATO AUs. sue me). So- Logan could also be the son of Eunomia, the goddess of lawful and legislation. He, like Roman, could be a child of Techne- but while Roman represents the creative side, Logic represents the... well... logical side. He represents the practice- he’s the kid in the engineering course staying up til 3 am building his own robot just because- he wants to understand how everything works. The kid that practices his sword fighting moves after hours to a deadly precision for the precision. Logan would never half-ass a skill, ever.

And Patton?... as much as I want to place Patton under Demeter or Persephone- these kind, gentle, caring goddesses of springtime and nourishment and growth- they don’t really fit Morality. I see Patton as the son of Hebe or Dike (which rhyme with Phoebe and Nike, respectively- I was stuck on those names forever). Hebe is the goddess of youth- Thomas himself said Patton represents his inner child, and I can absolutely see that.

But Patton was initially named Morality. He strongly reflects and represents Thomas’ emotions- but he is also that deeply-instilled sense of right and wrong. Not in the terms of a balancing act of retribution, as is the case of Nemesis, but more in a sense that Dike, the goddess of justice, moral order, and fair judgment, is a good fit for his underlying purpose. I would also say Patton could be a son of Astraea, the goddess of innocence, but, well, you can’t be the child of a virgin goddess.

There are, of course, so many ways to go with this- Patton could also be son of Mnemosyne, Roman could be a son of Calliope, Euterpe, Erato, Eros, Caerus, Horme, Thrasos, or Tyche, Logan could descend from the Amphilogiai or Dolos, Virgil could be a son of Hades or Zeus or Morpheus or Mnemosyne or Oizys or  somehow related to Clotho, they could all be Muses... I could go on. For this I mainly wanted to a) put all my thoughts on paper and b) restrict myself to them having one Greek god as a parent, as Riordan did- not a Titan or Titan descendant or primordial deity or spirit or god-like immortal being or what-have-you. (I may have failed in that somewhere along my lines of thinking, but it’s fine.)

I think the only negative thing is that they’d all have to wear the Camp Half-Blood shirt at some point. Sins do exist in Greek mythology, and Riordan committed one by making that shirt orange. Seriously? Orange?

Art by Tea Rogue In Greek mythology, the Amphillogiai[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Ἀμφιλλογίαι; singular: Amphillogia) were goddesses of disputes. Hesiod's Theogonyidentifies them as the daughters of Eris("strife") and sisters of Ponos ("Hardship"), Lethe ("Forgetfulness"), Limos ("Starvation"), Algae ("Pains"), Hysminai ("Battles"), Makhai("Wars"), Phonoi ("Murders"), Androktasiai(Manslaughters"), Neikea ("Quarrels"), Pseudea ("Lies"), Logoi ("Stories"), Dysnomia("Anarchy"), Ate ("Ruin"), and Horkos("Oath").[1] . . .

switcheroo!

welcome to chb || not accepting

  ♆                 son of horkos

Horkos was the personification of the curse that would befall upon any person that broke an oath they had taken. He was a god, the son of the goddess Eris (strife), and brother of Ponos, Limos, Algea, the Hysminai, the Makhai, the Phonoi, the Androktasiai, the Neikea, the Pseudologoi, the Amphilogiai, Dysnomia, Ate, and Lethe. They were all personifications of wrong doings or negative situations, such as pain, fights, murder, lies and forgetfulness.

Horkos Is also called Horcus.

Going to be honest this was incredibly tricky. Reading through your about and the wiki page I couldn’t quite pinpoint an idea but eventually came to the idea of broken oaths. It seems??? In his history that theres a lot at play involving promises gone sour from what I’ve gathered but I could be wrong. Horkos symbolizes what happens after the oath is broken, not the broken oath itself. He stands for what is done due to what has happened and if I understand this right Zelos lives in the shadow of what could have happened and the repercussions of what followed.
