==In Discordianism== ''Kallistēi'' is the word of the ancient Greek language inscribed on [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]]'s [[Apple of Discord]]. In Greek, the word is ''καλλίστῃ'' (the [[dative]] [[grammatical number|singular]] of the [[grammatical gender|feminine]] [[superlative]] of καλος, [[beauty|beautiful]]). Its meaning can be rendered "to the fairest one". ''Calliste'' (Καλλίστη; Mod. Gk. ''Kallisti'') is also an ancient name for the isle of [[Santorini|Thera]]. The word ''Kallisti'' (Modern Greek) written on a golden apple, has become a principal symbol of [[Discordianism]], a post-modernist religion. In non-[[philology|philological]] texts (such as Discordian ones) the word is usually spelled as ''καλλιστι''. Most versions of ''[[Principia Discordia]]'' actually spell it as καλλιχτι, but this is definitely incorrect; in the afterword of the 1979 [[Loompanics]] edition of ''Principia'', [[Gregory Hill (writer)|Gregory Hill]] says that was because on the IBM typewriter he used, not all [[Greek alphabet|Greek letters]] coincided with [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] ones, and he didn't know enough of the letters to spot the mistake. Zeus's failure to invite Eris is referred to as ''The Original Snub'' in Discordian mythology.<ref>{{cite web|title=Principia Discordia|url=https://principiadiscordia.com/| publisher=Discordian Society |access-date=10 May 2010}}</ref>
