The Original Snub is Discordianism's only real myth and it is lifted intact from Greek material — the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the uninvited Eris, the apple marked KALLISTI, the judgement of Paris, the war. What the Principia changes is the sympathy. In the classical telling Eris is the troublemaker; in the Discordian telling she is the guest who was deliberately left off a list and the discord is the entirely proportionate result. The reading generalises: most of what gets called chaos is somebody responding to exclusion, and the hosts who did the excluding are the ones who name it chaos. The Principia does not labour the point. It tells the story straight, in mock-scriptural English, and leaves the moral to the reader, which is consistent with a religion that forbids believing what it says.
