| I think the timocratic structure of divinity in early Greek myth might be quite a good thing to apply to the tale of Eris, the apple and the Trojan War. |
| Eris is the goddess of discord, and she had not been invited, as she always causes people to quarrel and so is loved by no one. |
| Eris in her original form was to the Greeks an image of the classic cannibal ogress. |
| The first time we tried them out was, appropriately enough, in a ritual invocation of Eris, and they seemed to work very well. |
| It seems that Zeus was throwing a party and did not want to invite Eris because of her reputation as a troublemaker. |
| However the final blow came when a Kuiper Belt Object, Eris, was discovered to be bigger than poor Pluto. |
