The Wedding Of Peleus And Thetis, 1612. The gods of ancient Greece celebrate the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the future parents of Achilles. Only Eris, goddess of discord, had not been invited, though she makes a dramatic appearance. Hovering over the festivities on bat-like wings, she holds a golden apple that will cause an argument among the assembled goddesses, eventually leading to the Trojan War.
