Left alone with their failure in capturing Adam and the echo of Eris' offer, the Furies exchanged a glance heavy in meaning.
They didn't... in fact, no one in Olympus believed the goddess of strife and discord's words—and for good reason. Examples of her mischief didn't lack, with the most notable being her golden apple inscribed with 'to the fairest.'
Just because Thetis and Peleus hadn't invited her to their marriage, she had pitted Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite against each other for its ownership. They sought Zeus to judge who was the fairest, but he... cowardly appointed someone in his place—a mortal prince—Paris of Troy.
Presented with benefits more incredible than the last, he had picked Aphrodite and her offer for the most beautiful woman in the world—Helene of Sparta.
The rest is history, with the Trojan War, Odysseus's journey and Achilles' tragic death. Thinking about it, wasn't Eris the culprit since her apple started it all?
