Eris-TheUglyWoman-Discordia

 

                                     Eris-Greek goddess of strife and discord

Hello, 

here is Eris. 

Greek goddess of strife and discord. Acc. to Wiki, Etymonline.com and unacademic.com a NAME with an uncertain etymology. Beekes said, it could not be Greek. It should be pre-Greek.

Eris is a limping, ugly and a small woman!

I have a proposal for the etymology: Erez is a Turkish word containing er (the man) and erez/eres could mean a woman who behaves like a  man. There are other Turkish words like erselik/erselek: hermaphrodite, maybe a nympho, ersek: a man-woman (boyish, German burschikos), ersinmek: showing himself/herself like a brave man...all with the Turkish root er: man

ersek with the meaning nympho could be the key to our explanation. A nympho could be an ugly woman who has no big chances by the men.That is why she is frustrated and hates the beautiful and the men/mankind.

Maybe!
