The Golden Apple of Discord is a pivotal symbol in Greek mythology, introduced when Eris cast it among the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, igniting the Judgment of Paris. Its story links divine rivalry, contested beauty, and the chain of events that culminated in the Trojan War, while also giving language a lasting metaphor for any source of bitter dispute.
