THE STORY

Night bore hard-hearted Eris without a father. Strife then continued the dark genealogy herself, bearing Toil, Forgetfulness, Famine, Griefs, Battles, Murders, Quarrels, Lies, Lawlessness, Ruin and Oath — the pains that turn discord into the texture of human life. 1

Hyginus makes Discordia a daughter of both Nox and Erebus, one member of their crowded brood of death, sleep, misery and fate. 2
