  1. -"Strife's sister sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth"_In Hesiod's Works and Days

    She was born that way, with her father beign a monster, CRONUS

    ---Child of Ra


  2. Why not?

  3. Wings are almost always a sign of supernatural origin and demarcation. Adding wings lets the viewer know that this 'person' is not of Earthly origin, and thus has powers and abilities beyond those of mortals, able to 'rise' above the Earthly realm.

    Birds have wings, squirrels have tails, and spiders have eight legs.

  4. Are you sure it's Eris and not Nike?  If it is, it's just the artist's interpretation.

  5. Do you mean Eros?
