There are many expressions about "apple". For instance, the expression "apple of discord" describes the condition of wild disorder. It comes from ancient mythology. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around a table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the gods--Discord was a troublemaker. He threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Juno, Minerva and Venus? Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Venus. Juno and Minerva were very angry and threatened him. Thus, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.
