Ἔρις, “Strife”) inscribed “to the fairest” and tossed in the midst of the festivities at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, thus sparking a vanity-fueled dispute between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite that eventu</span><span class="text_exposed_show">ally led to the Trojan War (for the complete story, see The Judgement of Paris). Thus, “apple of discord” is used to signify the core, kernel, or crux of an argument, or a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute. <span>It is also a pun based on the near-homonymous word malum (evil). The word for “apple” has a long ā vowel in Latin and the word for “evil” a short a vowel, but they are normally written the same.</span></span></p>http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39211095207http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39211095207Sun, 30 Dec 2012 13:17:00 +0100apple of discordflowersGreek Mythology<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e0cc92baa67bee52cafd33e90f611fee/tumblr_mfufb73DB41rzckz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Tableau chinois no. 6</strong></p>http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39210987258http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39210987258Sun, 30 Dec 2012 13:13:55 +0100flowerschinoiserie<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7228e671393c0306b70e11236915a1e9/tumblr_mfuf8v8Y7v1rzckz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Tableau chinois no. 5</strong></p>http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39210946646http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/39210946646Sun, 30 Dec 2012 13:12:31 +0100flowersinitialschinoiserie<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/de138eb61f69431f7c486701f4e38365/tumblr_mevip0trhX1rzckz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>The white imperial elephant</strong></p>http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/37716925391http://milankovacevic.tumblr.com/post/37716925391Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:50:59 +0100elephantparrot
