Eris (Goddess of Strife)


Dialogue: You are orbiting too close to the sun (syn. Horsemen or Centaurs= Atrebates worshipping the God Mercury). Rome sent Chiron to live amongst the Centaurs (cf Cogidumnus)
Opposite is the far out Eris

In Hesiod's Works and Days 11–24, two different goddesses named Eris "Strife" are distinguished:

So, after all, there was not one kind of Strife alone, but all over the earth there are two. As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature.
For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due.

But the other is the elder daughter of dark Night (Nyx), and the son of Cronus who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with his neighbour as he hurries after wealth. This Strife is wholesome for men. And potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel.

Hitler was an ISTJ. Evil Braun was an INFP of a special kind which in the Perseus System, the Monster hails from the dwarf planet Eris.

I have met one of these people. They are worst than the NightMARE.
