In honour of the playtest of Hades 2 an Ate I did in the style of the game!

"(She) that blindeth all—a power fraught with bane; delicate are her feet, for it is not upon the ground that she fareth, but she walketh over the heads of men, bringing men to harm, and this one or that she ensnareth."

In the Argonautica, Hera says that "even the gods are sometimes visited by Ate".

Ate is the greek goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin. She was considered the personification of ruin. According to Hesiod (Theog. 230), a daughter of Eris, and according to Homer (Il. xix. 91) of Zeus.

I personally made her like Eris, and like her grandmother Nyx, with soooome details of Zeus.

Ate appears in a story in the Iliad, where it is told how she came to be thrown out of Olympus, and never permitted to return. Zeus held Ate to blame for blinding him to Hera's trickery which resulted in the loss of the birthright Zeus intended for his son Heracles: to be lord over the Argives. As punishment, an enraged Zeus:

"seized Ate by her bright-tressed head, wroth in his soul, and sware a mighty oath that never again unto Olympus and the starry heaven should Ate come, she that blindeth all. So said he, and whirling her in his hand flung her from the starry heaven, and quickly she came to the tilled fields of men. At thought of her would he ever groan, whenso he beheld his dear son in unseemly travail beneath Eurystheus' tasks."

Homer, Iliad 9. 498 ff :

"The very immortals can be moved; their virtue and honour and strength are greater than ours are, and yet with sacrifices and offerings for endearment, with libations and with savour men turn back even the immortals in supplication, when any man does wrong and transgresses. For there are also the Litai (Litae, Prayers), the daughters of great Zeus, and they are lame of their feet, and wrinkled, and cast their eyes sidelong, who toil on their way left far behind by the spirit of Ruin (Ate): but she, Ate (Ruin), is strong and sound on her feet, and therefore far outruns all Litai (Prayers), and wins into every country to force men astray; and the Litai (Prayers) follow as healers after her. If a man venerates these daughters of Zeus as they draw near, such a man they bring great advantage, and hear his entreaty; but if a man shall deny them, and stubbornly with a harsh word refuse, they go to Zeus, son of Kronos, in supplication that Ate (Ruin) may over take this man, that he be hurt, and punished."

I’d also like to point out that in the story Helen is the only one to feel any guilt or blame regarding the war. She feels absolutely terrible that there’s a huge war being fought over her. No one else feels any guilt whatsoever.

Do you think that Eris is painted as a villain in other god’s stories because she herself can be used as a scapegoat for a title that was given to her at birth? That she can be an excuse for infidelity, abuse, and war because she is the goddess of and strife? When in turn, she is also the two sides of the same coin. On the other side, while she still creates enmity between two people, it pushed them to better themselves so they could simple be better.

Do you think that Eris had another motive to causing the Trojan War besides chaos? Didn’t Zeus cast her daughter Äte down to the mortal realm and take away her godliness because she had made him take a false oath in the swirl of a coup set up by his own wife, brother, and child? Has no one considered the possibility that Eris decided to get revenge by causing one of the (rumored) largest wars in human history? By making his people fight and kill each other, pitting the gods against one another?

Eris is said the be an ugly goddess, one that man and god fear. That the ugly goddess had no one love her. She is the symphony against beauty and the tide that breaks the cycle of femininity made by mortals because she herself follows no cycle and no standard. She simply is and will always will be.

Yet, despite all that she has done to humans, I feel like she loves them. Because in them she sees herself, chaos and strife. And yet she gets no love in return.

People forget that goddesses were once little girls too. In my mind, I’ve created a whole story for Eris. That she was young once and did harmless chaos and tricks until she had to take her title and being to use it as a defense mechanism against the men that paint her as a monster for their actions.
