Editing Eris (mythology) (section)

==Cultural influences==
The classic [[fairy tale]] "[[Sleeping Beauty]]" references what appears to be Eris's role in the wedding of [[Peleus]] and [[Thetis]]. Like Eris, a malevolent [[fairy]] curses a princess after not being invited to the princess's [[infant baptism|christening]].<ref>{{cite book|title=A Handbook of Greek Mythology, Including Its Extension to Rome|author=H.

Eris is the principal figure of worship in the modern [[Discordian]] religion invented as an "absurdist joke" in 1957 by two school friends [[Malaclypse the Younger|Gregory Hill]] and [[Kerry Wendell Thornley]]. As mythologized in the religion's satirical text ''[[Principia Discordia]]'', written by Hill with Thornely and others, Eris (apparently) spoke to Hill and Thornley in an all-night bowling alley, in the form of a chimpanzee.<ref>Mäkelä & Petsche, [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260383131_Serious_parody_Discordianism_as_liquid_religion "Abstract"]; Robertson, [https://books.google.com/books?id=5aRyJ-vbrJsC&&pg=PA421 pp. 421&ndash;424]; Cusack, [https://books.google.com/books?id=EoduVhGsfp0C&pg=PA28 pp. 28&ndash;30].</ref>

Eris, the "Goddess of Discord and Chaos", is a recurring antagonist in the animated television series [[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]], wherein she is depicted as a spoiled and wealthy woman that wields the "Apple of Discord".

Similarly, Eris, the malevolent "Goddess of Discord and Chaos", is the main antagonist in the DreamWorks 2003 animated movie ''[[Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas]]'' against [[Sinbad the Sailor|Sinbad]] and his allies.
