Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite all vie for the apple, but only one will succeed in winning it. Some believe that Eris' actions were the precursors to the Trojan War).
Information about PARODY
It has been a long-standing practice to poke fun at our cultural icons, symbols, public figures and celebrities. A parody exists when one imitates a serious piece of work, such as literature, music or artwork, for a humorous or satirical effect. Parody, as a method of criticism, has been a very popular means for authors, entertainers and advertisers to communicate a particular message or point of view to the public.
