* SadlyMythcharacterized: The Golden Apple's history states that ''Enyo'', daughter of Ares and goddess of war, instigated discord between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite with the golden apple, which led to them holding a contest with Paris as judge that would lead to the Trojan War. Most accounts attribute the instigator to ''Eris'', the goddess of discord and chaos. In addition, Enyo doesn't mean "strife," while Eris does. The discrepancy is likely because Homer equates the two goddess as one in the same.

* ThemeParkVersion: On top of being an amalgamation of various eras of antiquity, the Greeks are heavily inspired by portrayals in classic SwordAndSandals cinema. Their buildings have the iconic (but inaccurate) pure white columns, while many of the Greek myth units are quite obviously based on the Creator/RayHarryhausen films.
