![]() The goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite had been invited along with the rest of Olympus to the forced wedding of Peleus and Thetis, who would become the parents of Achilles, but Eris had been snubbed because of her troublemaking inclinations. The most famous tale of Eris recounts her initiating the Trojan War by causing the Judgement of Paris. She also has a son whom she named Strife.Įnyo is mentioned in Book 5, and Zeus sends Strife to rouse the Achaeans in Book 11, of the same work. She it was that now cast evil strife into their midst as she fared through the throng, making the groanings of men to wax. and Discord that rageth incessantly, sister and comrade of man-slaying Ares she at the first rears her crest but little, yet thereafter planteth her head in heaven, while her feet tread on earth. The other Eris is presumably she who appears in Homer's Iliad Book IV equated with Enyo as sister of Ares and so presumably daughter of Zeus and Hera: Neikea (Quarrels), Pseudea (Lies), Logoi (Stories), Amphillogiai (Disputes),ĭysnomia (Anarchy) and Ate (Ruin), near one another,Īnd Horkos (Oath), who most afflicts men on earth, Hysminai (Battles), Makhai (Wars), Phonoi (Murders), and Androktasiai (Manslaughters) Lethe (Forgetfulness) and Limos (Starvation) and the tearful Algea (Pains), In Hesiod's Theogony (226–232), Eris, the daughter of Night, is less kindly spoken of as she brings forth other personifications as her children:Īnd hateful Eris bore painful Ponos (Hardship), And potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel. 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. ![]() ( 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. 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. 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. These may be subject to change as the project progresses.Ĭome join us on this epic adventure as we circumnavigate the globe on the finest polar expeditions ships ever built, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.So, after all, there was not one kind of Strife alone, but all over the earth there are two. Note: All costs are based on current predicted estimates and project requirements. Shipping and handling to the Falklands - £400 Line rental & satellite credit for predicted 24 months sailing - £2,640 (660 per ship per year). The funds are to cover current estimated costs of £5,960, based on the following predicted outlay: There were 66 crew on HMS Erebus (under Captain James Clark Ross – Ollie), and ) and 62 on HMS Terror ( under Commander Francis Crozier – Harry). Or you can simply make a donation to the adventure to help with the boat costs with any excess going directly to the FIAC. For “officer” donations you will be assigned an actual named officer and a small wooden figure will be attached with your name onto the boats. A salary donation will secure you a position on the crew on either Erebus or Terror. ![]() Everyone is invited to donate to the cause based on the actual annual salary of the crew in 1840. To help us cover the costs of the build, tracking and logistics we have come up with a fun way to raise the funds needed. Any funds raised beyond what is required for this educational adventure will be donated at the end of the project to support the works of the Franklin Interim Advisory Committee (FIAC), who work closely with both Parks Canada and the local Inuit community to protect and conserve the two wreck sites. The funds we are raising are to cover the tailor made tracking equipment, sensors and camera units, project costs including learning materials, building resources, equipment consumables/tools, estimated satellite time and the shipping costs to the Falkland Islands. We will set sail for two years on this epic 20,000 km expedition using the smallest ships to ever sail in the Southern oceans. We are recruiting crew for the Antarctic Circumpolar Adventure! Come and join us in recreating the greatest polar expedition ever undertaken by ship.
