The mortals had paid their respects to the gods since the fall of the Titans. They were paying and praying for their interventions. And when the worthy got noticed, the Gods were storming from the skies to show their signs of respect to them. And sometimes, some gods replied with a ceremonial connection between them and the mortals. 

But then, there came the chaos from a ceremony like this one. Chaos replied with an apple. Gods replied to the challenge and asked a mortal his opinion. But not a mere mortal. A prince. A foolish prince.

Three goddesses showed him the apple and said that he had to choose which one. The prince asked what they had to offer.

Fame, riches, the mind of a strategic warrior…

A woman as beautiful as any other who was in a land far from his, in a kingdom stronger than his to the arms of a man whose brother wanted the prince’s kingdom on his own.

The prince once again, was foolish.

With divine intervention, the prince won the woman but with it a war stormed.

After prayers, payments, and tears of thousands of sacrifices, the gods decided to intervene. And each one of them chose a side.

Fighting among the mortals, chaos emerged in the lands, conflict of brothers and lovers, conflict of even the gods themselves.

In the end, the war ended. The prince’s city had fallen with a wooden horse in front of the walls. The chaos did not stop for years and years. The chaos was emerging from the fallen blood from the cries. The Chaos had come as it was too late to realize who it was.

One God saw the goddess  Eris laughing at the fallen kingdom as her hands were carving a golden apple.

The god managed to trap her so she could get judged by Justice herself.

In front of justice, Chaos was punished in Tartarus for all the years to come. But before her banishment, the goddess of Chaos asked Themis, the goddess of justice.

I brought the first push of destruction. But who continued it? And who failed? Tell me all of you Olympians. Is your intervention so important to the mortals? Or for you?
