Discom, the goddess of, in Pagan theology, is represented by Aristides with fiery eyes, a pale countenance, livid lips, and wearing a dagger in her bosom. It was she who, at the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, threw in the golden apple, on which was written "To the fairest," and which occasioned a contention between the goddesses Juno, Minerva, and Venus, each pretending a title to the apple. She was likewise called Ate and Eris.
