The manzana de la discordia (the turret on the left belongs to the Casa Lleó Morera; the building with the stepped triangular peak is the Casa Amatller; and the curved façade to its right is the Casa Batlló).

The Golden Apple of Discord (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a golden apple dropped by Eris, the goddess of strife, at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis in the Greek myth of the Judgement of Paris. It sparked a vanity-fueled dispute among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War.[1]

In common parlance, the apple of discord is the core, kernel, or crux of an argument, or a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute.[2]

Derivative uses

Шаблон:Uncited section In the Eixample district of Barcelona, there is a block nicknamed in Spanish Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang-ca). The reason for this usage is that the word Шаблон:Lang means both "apple" and "city block" in Spanish. It was so named ("block of discord") because it features four different interpretations of Modernisme architecture: Antoni Gaudí's Casa Batlló, Lluís Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó Morera, Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller, and Enric Sagnier's Casa Mulleras.

"To the Most Beautiful"

In some later sources, Eris inscribed on the apple "for the fairest"[3] or "to the most beautiful" before tossing it. The most popular version of the inscription is Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang-grc, Шаблон:Lang-el).[4] Шаблон:Lang is the dative singular of the feminine superlative of Шаблон:Lang, "beautiful". In Latin sources, the word is Шаблон:Lang.[5]
