Discord

Eris or Discord is the goddess of chaos. She is Ares' twin sister and a daughter of Zeus and Hera and the mother of Strife. Discord often assists Ares in his plots against their half-brother Hercules.

Being a lesser god, Discord never really became a big deal but as Goddess of Chaos did her job well. Also becoming a thorn in the side of Xena, Ares gave Discord a chance to be Goddess of Retribution after Nemesis, but she was given her original title back.

Background

In 2005 a new planet was discovered just beyond Pluto. Scientists actually had considered naming the planet Xena and its neighboring moon Gabrielle, but instead settled on the name Eris ("discord" or "strife"). However the moon's official name became Dysnomia after Eris' daughter, the goddess of lawlessness - an indirect tribute to Lucy Lawless.
Discordia is the Latin name of two Greek goddesses who embodied the concept of strife:
- Eris is called a daughter of Nyx (Night) by Hesiod, but the daughter of Zeus and Hera by Homer.
- Ate (pronounced ah-tee) is a daughter of Eris and Zeus and also called sister of Ares.
- She had a daughter named Dysnomia.
Although Discord sported a getup of leather straps and sheer fabric that showed off a lot of skin in Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, she was initially given a slightly more modest outfit of red-brown velvet for Young Hercules, probably since the show was targeted at a younger audience. In some episodes, she switches back to her original outfit, probably for production issues.
