Eris is the Ancient Greek goddess of discord and chaos, and the main antagonist of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.

She is part of the DreamWorks official villains and only makes a solemn appearence in the film.

She is the denizen and proprietor of Tartarus: The Realm of Chaos and the creator/owner of the many godly monsters made into constellations and at a contemporary period of time the possessor of the Book of Peace: The Priceless Treasure of the twelve cities.

She brought ruin to the city of Syracuse (One of the twelve cities fuelled by the Book) until her defeat at the hands of a former black hearted thief sailor Sinbad whom took the place of Syracuse's Prince Proteus in the planned execution for the stealing of the Book Of Peace, which Eris in front of the entire city handed down to Sinbad who won her game of truth in Tartarus.

Background

Family

She is the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She has 13 children.

Personality

Eris represents true malevolence and deviance, she has no morals of good and/or nobility, which is derived as her being a goddess of pure evil.

She is seen as spiteful, vindictive and passionate when it comes to the prospect of the world potentially crumbling into chaos; which she refers to as being a glorious event.

She is also seen as having a particular interest in the protagonist character of her film: Sinbad since at first, he is a black hearted, selfish thief determined on getting his way at the expense of all else.

All that changes however with the events she has set in place in the film and she is seen enraged at the fact that she has gotten her way which shows her to not be one who likes fair and square events.

Eris also claims Sinbad is "cute but not that cute" when he gets cocky upon her defeat.

She is also seen as wickedly intelligent, deliberately posing as Sinbad while stealing of the Book of Peace knowing that his former best friend, and future prince of Syracuse Proteous would take his place in a planned execution.

She also takes a dullness tone to happy endings.

Design

Eris can appear at any size as her body is not that of a corporeal one though it appears to have that texture.

Her hair flies all over the place and any movement she makes, her shape and form can shift and change.

She possesses two red eyes with yellow background cornea.

She is seen at the planned execution of Proteous in giant stature which is due to her rage.

So her emotions in speculation can have an affect upon how she may choose to appear, and it can be assumed that her forms come from both how she wishes toappear, and how emotions emanate.

Role in the film

Eris with monster beastory looking over the stimulated earth

Eris appears in the very first scene of the film where she is seen in her residence of Tartarus looking over stimulated earth with her assembly of monsters gathered behind her.

She upon looking into it takes interest on a southern sea of a noble prince aboard a ship containing a priceless treasure and a pursuing ship behind containing a black hearted thief and his pirate like sailor crew.

She from there then sends in her monster Cetus down into the stimulated earth which takes him down into the actual southern sea where they are.

From there he interrupts the thief Sinbad from stealing the Book of Peace from his former childhood best friend Prince Proteous of Syracuse.

Sinbad agrees and asks Eris to keep her word which leads her to bounding herself for all eternity on it.

She then lets Sinbad return to his ship but as he comes into Syracuse to meet up with Proteus and meet his planned future wife Marina he backs out of the plan of stealing the book.

The Courts however grant Sinbad the chance in 10 days to proclaim the book and return it to spare Proteus and his life.

However through the course of carefully set up sails and a tied rope Marina and Sinbad swing into the gates and enter Tartarus.

There Eris' beastory fall before Sinbad and Marina and threaten them.

They are however sucked up by Eris who then engages in conversation with Sinbad.

In the conversation Eris reveals she had set up the framing as not a way to have Sinbad executed by Proteus knowing he would take his place and that Syracuse without it's next rightful king would crumble into chaos.

She then states she will give Sinbad the book if he first plays a game of hers.

Eris confesses her overall plan of of causing the unravelling of Syracuse into Chaos

The game is a simple one question which if an honest answer is given will earn him the book.

The question is that of if he doesn't get the book will he return to die in Proteus' place.

He answers with he will return and upon stepping forth to retrieve the book the platforms holding him and Marina in place collapse as Eris appears claiming "He's Lying."

Eris hands back the Book of Peace to Sinbad upon the Bounding for Eternity

Sinbad then along with Marina upon being expelled from Tartarus head back to Syracuse where at the last moment Sinbad stops the Syracuse executioner from beheading Proteus. Sinbad then lays his own head upon the grate which proves with his will that he indeed did not lie to Eris.

Eris then appears at the last moment to stop Sinbad from being beheaded through the act of shattering the sword meant to kill him.

She then appears in giant stature enraged upon him proving his nobility and expresses incredible rage upon him returning and that he has ruined her plans and a perfect day.

She still believes he is an irresponsible liar, but Sinbad recollects back in the game him giving an honest answer and the second bond for eternity she made. This almost causes Eris to a rage, but being an honorable goddess, she willingly returns the Book back to Sinbad, accepting defeat. She then bids farewell to Sinbad, preparing to go to other places to destroy while leaving Syracuse unharmed.
