Eris's connection to suffering is clear: she personifies the destructive forces that lead to war, rivalry, and pain. In ancient texts, she is depicted as delighting in the chaos of battle and the suffering it brings, and is often linked with Ares, the god of war. Her presence is said to increase the moaning and misery of men, and she is described as a "giver of pain" and "nurse of tearful wars". I did not know any of this when I made up my stage name Exeris!!!! Someone told me years later!!! And my name also sounds like ExAres. Maybe I should be Exeris Exares? Fate? Destiny? Time exists all at once....
