apple of discord
An apple of discord is a reference to the Golden Apple of Discord ((ギリシア語:μῆλον τῆς Ἔριδος)) which, according to Greek mythology, the goddess Eris (Gr. Ἔρις, "Strife") tossed in the midst of the feast of the gods at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis as a prize of beauty, thus sparking a vanity-fueled dispute among Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War〔Apollodorus ''Epitome'' E.3.2〕 (for the complete story, see ''The Judgement of Paris''). Thus, "apple of discord" is used to signify the core, kernel, or crux of an argument, or a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute.
==Derivative uses==
Because of this, the Roman goddess corresponding to the Greek Eris was named "Discordia". Also, in German and in Dutch, the words are used a lot more often colloquially than in English, though in German the colloquial form is not ''Apfel der Zwietracht'' (lit. "Apple of Discord") but ''Zankapfel'' ("Quarrel-apple") and rarely ''Erisapfel'' - the Dutch is ''Twistappel'' ("Strife-apple").
In the Eixample district of Barcelona, there is a block nicknamed in Spanish: ''La manzana de la discordia'' ((カタルーニャ語、バレンシア語:L'illa de la discòrdia)), the reason for this usage is because ''manzana'' means both "apple" and "city block" in Spanish.
It was so named ("block of discord") because it features three different interpretations of ''Modernisme'' architecture: Antoni Gaudí's Casa Batlló, Lluís Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó Morera, and Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller.
