The term "strife" is employed across literary works to evoke both external and internal conflicts, often imbued with a heroic or tragic quality. In ancient epics, it describes the clashing of swords and the chaotic energy of battle [1], [2], while in mythic narratives it captures the discord among kin and even the gods [3], [4]. At the same time, writers use it to symbolize more subtle forms of tension—be they political rivalries, ideological debates, or the inner turmoil of human desire [5], [6]. Thus, "strife" becomes a versatile motif, serving as a powerful metaphor for the multifaceted struggles that underpin both epic adventures and the intricate workings of everyday life.
