Apple of Discord and Bone of Contention
Hi everyone! I have to translate a fable, where it says 'Two Poets were quarrelling for the Apple of Discord and the Bone of
Contention, for they were very hungry.' Can you tell me if there is any difference between the Apple of Discord and the Bone of Contention?
Thanks!
