Abstract
As a goddess Eris or Strife plays no role at all in Greek religion and an extremely restricted role in Greek literature. In èpic she briefly appears in the preliminaries to the Judgement of Paris, but is normally confined to emblematic appearances in mass battle scenes. As a concept Hesiod gives her some importance by distinguishing between a good and an evil Eris. Generally, though, whether as a goddess or a concept,erisremains inconspicuous until Euripides gives the word a thematic importance in a number of his works. This is most obvious inAndromacheand most impressive in a nearly unbroken series of plays starting withHelenand ending with the posthumousIphigeneia in Aulis.
