Eris, goddess of discord

Earth is overpopulated,

Zeus observes.

Trojan war is conceived

For he thinks it’s the best.

The god manipulates the plot

Makes Thetis forget my attendance

Thus, In her banquet I cast man’s lot

 to the deities I cause grievance.

The apple and the title

the “fairest” of all I toss

stunning goddesses battle

and turn to Zeus.

The mightiest avoids conflict

Let a mortal judge instead

Great options do  perplex

But the man picks what he can bring to bed

Trojan war ensues

As Helen’s infidelity reigns

To Menelaus revenge rules

To Greeks and Trojans life ends

Ablaze the Greeks’ fury, I fix

Looting and killing pull

Slaughtered flesh and blood mix

As swords and arrows rule

Gods take sides

Risk their lives heroes do

Hector fights

Achilles retaliates, too.

The Trojan hero dies

As Achaeans celebrate their feat

Triumphant Greeks pursue their lives

As the Trojans suffer defeat.

Disunity, this I bring

Whatever I touch never stays the same

I act and I sting

The goddess of discord, Eris is my name.
