ERIS(strife), eldest duaghter of Erebos and Nyx, was known to the greeks to have borne many children, among them Toil, and Forgetfulness, the Pains, Fighting and Battles, the Murders and the Man-slaughters, the Quarrels, the Lies, the Disputes, and Lawlessness and Ruin, and finally Oath who doesn't much care for his other siblings.

She also had other children, that the greeks never mentioned, because they were spiteful men.  She bore Gelus(Laughter) and Algea(Sorrow), the gods of the stage.  Elpis(Hope) was among her children let loose on the world by Pandora, and with Dionysius she bore Komos(Revel).  She was also the mother of the twins Lawyers and Politicians*.  Finally her youngest child is Jonni, the god of apples, though he was born long after the greeks.

*The greeks didn't mention this because some things or too horrible to blame on anyone, rather than out of spite.  It is however, a big part of why they hated Eris so much.


(This isn't really finished, so suggestions for other children are welcome, and I could use the ancient greek words for lawyers and politicians if anybody has any idea.)
