My impression was that Eris was already fairly famous. But this is the first time I've seen her be referred as the goddess of disagreement. It's usually "discord" or "strife" 🤔

[pinkgazelle]

I think you underestimated how many people had heard of that last one lol. She has been referenced a LOT in popular media.

A fun one is Baubo - the goddess of belly laughter. She is often personified as a face on a woman’s genitals. The story goes that, after Persephone left Demeter to be with Hades in the Underworld, Demeter was so sad that nothing could cheer her up. At a feast, however, Baubo was present. And after all the other gods tried to cheer Demeter up, Baubo approached Demeter and simply lifted up the front of her skirt. Whatever Demeter saw was so hilarious that she smiled and laughed for the first time in months, and therefore brought the harvest back to the mortals on Earth.

She’s fun :)

Saying that Zeus wanted things to be fair It's probably the most unbelievable aspect 🤣

"five Greek gods you've never heard of" and the last one is literally my name, I was utterly shocked, I thought Eris was pretty well known

[Fantasy_Nerd]

Damn, ancient greece had a whole ass drama tv show as a religion

Plutus is referred to as Hades sometimes because of the Romans version of Hades: Pluto.
That is also the reasons for words like: Plutophobia, Fear of Money. Plutophillia, Love of Money. Plutomania, obsesses with money.


I actually found out about that god only a few days prior to watching this!

Eris! One of my favorites! She is known as “The Goddess of Discord” in one of my favorite childhood movies, “Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas”.

Antheia: the goddess of swamps, and was practically forgotten because she doesn’t have a myth tied to her and is debated on whether or not she was Aphrodite or a separate goddess. Though, Antheia, as perceived by pagans, believed she was a goddess who found beauty in everything and lacked vanity. She was mentioned in the Goddess Girls series as a friend to Iris.

There is a documentary on Tubi about the Greek mythology, and some of these lesser known gods/goddess are mentioned in it. Very interesting and informative.

Hestia. Most don't know or at least talk about her. She plays a pretty major role in Percy Jackson but other than that I don’t hear her mentioned. She’s the goddess of hearth and home. She used to be one of the Olympian Gods and is the oldest of Zeus and his siblings. Along with being the goddess of hearth and home she’s also a settler and a peace maker, even willingly giving up her spot as one of the 12 Olympians to Dionysus to settle an argument

Eris got more acknowledgement than the others for sure, being featured in the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and in Dreamwork's Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas. Always wanting to cause chaos and discord.

Dang, Zeus didn't have to rip Arke's wings off. He could just simply toss her into Tartarus and call it a day.

Oizys has recently started to bless me more and more.

[DravenGal]

Interesting. I've always been into Greek Mythology and there are a couple of gods I haven't heard or read about before. Thanks for the info Jon!

Eris is a Wonder Woman villain, in her nearly bald buzzcut and torn cocktail dress incarnation she's called Strife

[ZiggyWhiskerz]

Eris is not simply "tHe GoDdEsS oF DiSaGrEeMeNt". She's the goddess of straight up discord. And not the server lol. It's so much worse than just "disagreement". 😅

[Theroguenoodle]

Eris “They didn’t invite me to their wedding? Fine. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to drastic “

* Accidentally starts a war *

[mlvl_]

Eris is already a famous one. She was the one who threw a golden apple of discord. The apple was carved with the word "fairest" which Hera, Athena and Aphrodite disputed to own such title. She was the goddess of discord not disagreement and the sower of such too

[RomanNoodles]

Oizys is referred to the Goddess of Disappointment in the new Percy Jackson show not the Goddess of failure
