This is a pencil illustration of Eris, the Greek goddess of discord, drawn by Spencer Alexander McDaniel in June 2020. Her peplos is green, symbolizing envy, a common source of strife. In her right hand, she holds golden apple...In her left hand, she holds a xiphos, a kind of ancient Greek sword. A passage from Hesiodos's Works and Days is written in Greek on her right. My own English translation of the passage is written on her left. <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Illustration_of_Eris.jpg">Katolophyromai</a>, <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons
