What We Know About Eris<br />

The Romans left a likeness of Her for posterity— She was shown as a grotesque<br />

woman with a pale <strong>and</strong> ghastly look, Her eyes afire, Her garment ripped <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>rn,<br />

<strong>and</strong> women look pale <strong>and</strong> ghastly when concealing a chilly dagger in their bosoms.<br />

Her genealogy is from the Greeks <strong>and</strong> is utterly confused. Either She was the twin of<br />

Ares <strong>and</strong> the daughter of Zeus <strong>and</strong> Hera; or She was the daughter of Nyx, goddess of<br />

night (who was either the daughter or wife of Chaos, or both), <strong>and</strong> Nyx's brother,<br />

Erebus, <strong>and</strong> whose brothers <strong>and</strong> sisters include Death, Doom, Mockery, <strong>and</strong><br />

Friendship. And that She begot Forgetfulness, Quarrels, Lies, <strong>and</strong> a bunch of gods <strong>and</strong><br />

goddesses like that.<br />

One day Mal-2 consulted his Pineal Gl<strong>and</strong>* <strong>and</strong> asked Eris if She really created all of<br />

those terrible things. She <strong>to</strong>ld him that She had always liked the Old Greeks, but that<br />

they cannot be trusted with his<strong>to</strong>ric matters. "They were," She added, "victims of<br />

indigestion, you know."<br />

Suffice it <strong>to</strong> say that Eris is not hateful or malicious. But She is mischievous, <strong>and</strong> does<br />

get a little bitchy at times.<br />

*The Pineal gl<strong>and</strong> is where each <strong>and</strong> every one of us can talk <strong>to</strong> Eris. If you have<br />

trouble activating your Pineal, then try the appendix which does almost as well.<br />
