The Apple of Eris
by Kallisti-JG23
MYTHOLOGY and BACKGROUND
Legend says that the first war among men was the result of the Apple of Eris, Goddess of discord. After Zeus neglected to invite Her to a big wedding, She made a golden apple inscribed "for the prettiest one" ("kallisti" in Greek) and threw it into the banquet, and a big argument erupted over whogets it. Zeus chose the prince of Troy, Paris, to decide. Everyonel offered Paris different bribes, who chose Aphrodite, who promised him the prettiest mortal woman, Helen. Paris got Helen, so Helen's husband, King Menelaus of Athens sent an army, with the famous Trojan Horse, to attack Troy...
The Turks have moved troops and aircraft into western Turkey and northern Cyprus, and a Greek domestic airliner flying from Lesvos to Athens was hijacked. A previously unknown group called the Legion of Independent Kurdistan claimed responsibility and is demanding a very large sum of money for the release of the hostages, one of whom is the wife of a popular Greek politician. CIA has found and passed on to Greek intelligence information suggesting that this new "terrorist group" actually consisted of members of Turkish special forces.
Greek intelligence concludes that this ploy is a ruse to divert attention away from Turkish movements in the west and in Cyprus so that Turkey can go ahead with its plans to occupy all of Cyprus and several islands off the Turkish coast that belong to Greece. The Government of Greece has presented this evidence to the world and has called the hijacking an act of war. A team of Greek special forces are being sent to retrieve the hostages, and at the same time, the Hellenic Air Force has formulated a plan to strike targets in western Turkey as a pre-emptive measure.
