WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT ERIS (not much) |
|
|
|
The Romans left a likeness of Her for posterity -- She was shown as a |
|
grotesque woman with a pale and ghastly look, Her eyes afire, Her |
|
garment ripped and torn, and as concealing a dagger in Her Bosom. |
|
Actually, most women look pale and ghastly when concealing a chilly |
|
dagger in their bosoms. |
|
|
|
Her geneology is from the Greeks and is utterly confused. Either |
|
She was the twin of Ares and the daughter of Zeus and Hera; or She was |
|
the daughter of Nyx, goddess of night (who was either the daughter or |
|
wife of Chaos, or both), and Nyx's brother, Erebus, and whose brothers |
|
and sisters included Death, Doom, Mockery, Misery, and Friendship. |
|
And that She begat Forgetfulness, Quarrels, Lies, and a bunch of gods |
|
and goddesses like that. |
|
|
|
One day Mal-2 consulted his pineal gland* and asked Eris if She |
|
really created all of those terrible things. She told him that She |
|
had always liked the Old Greeks, but that they cannot be trusted with |
|
historic matters. "They were," She added, "victims of indigestion, |
|
you know." |
|
|
|
Suffice it to say that Eris is not hateful or malicious. But She |
|
is mischievous, and does get a little bitchy at times. |
|

* THE PINEAL GLAND is where each and every one of us can talk to Eris. |
|
If you have trouble activating your pineal, then try the appendix |
|
which does almost as well. Reference: DOGMA I, METAPHYSICS #3, "The |
|
Indoctrine of the Pineal Gland." |
