The Box of Eris (21 Point Item)

   The greek gods are pretty eccentric. When their demigodling offspring go to visit their parent or parents – and ask why they just got dumped on earth on their own – they never know what they’re going to get. In this case I suppose we’d have to call it an “allowance” of sorts.
