J. M. W. Turner, The Goddess of Discord Choosing the Apple of Contention in the Garden of the HesperidesThe 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).
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]
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 ΤΗΙ ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΗΙ (Ancient Greek: τῇ καλλίστῃ, romanized: tē(i) kallistē(i), lit. 'for/to the most beautiful', Greek: τη καλλίστη, romanized: ti kallisti).[4]Καλλίστῃ is the dativesingular of the femininesuperlative of καλός, "beautiful". In Latin sources, the word is formosissima.[5]
