if the two of them manage to chuck Apollo into the pigsty, then they will have stolen his dignity.
thus it would be a mugging.

Also, FYI, those last two years in Sixth Form/College aren't compulsory. You can leave school at 16 here in the UK.
OL could always steal Apollo's kilt and hang it up in the trophy room in the mountain.

i think they are stealing his followers if that counts.if the two of them manage to chuck Apollo into the pigsty, then they will have stolen his dignity.

I really hope they reconsider this, the Hera/Zeus thing was one thing but deliberately attacking Apollo would be making a needless enemy. I'll expect him to do something to both Eris and Paul just for the punch, embarrassing him in front of some of his only worshipers would merit something a lot higher in magnitude. Greek gods are spiteful and antagonizing them comes on your own risk.
Greek gods were traditionally only spiteful to those who couldn't fight back. Apollo probably isn't stupid enough to pick a fight with someone with quite a few divine friends and the Heart of the Ophidian. I imagine all the pantheons of earth are understandably nervous about the giant greed snake and her agent.
A feud with Eris is likely to be a really bad idea. She rather specializes in making a mess of things. And we've just seen that she's strong enough to knock out Apollo by blindsiding him.
In fact if she and OL were serious about it they could presumably have just killed him, not embarrassed him. OL could have unloaded a whole lot of Mageslayers and Crumblers into him while he was unconscious or gone and gotten the Sword of the Fallen. And Eris probably has a whole warehouse of nasty tricks she can pull out if she wants.

Then Zeus comes down from above with thunderbolts and lightning, being very very frightening. Antagonizing Apollo here was a needless bit of escalation on their part. Also Paul isn't the only on who can call on allies and even the Ophidian has counterplay. At the moment the pig-sty thing hasn't happened and there's still time to reconsider. It might be played for some cheap laughs for the readers, but the price in-universe must be much higher.

Grayven has already proven he can tank Zeus' lightning and this is going to look more like another one of Eris' schemes to most Olympians. There is no reason you should expect this to escalate.
I dunno...it could be argued that Apollo was the one who started the escalation... by trying to steal OL's thunder at the revelation (AND hiding that the vision that caused all the trouble in the first place was his fault. Remember he didn't say anything about that until Paul called him out and was getting angry at that)
It probably says something about Paul that he is more casual about calling up a literal God of Discord and Chaos who is theoretically his boss than about calling up the Embodiment of Avarice he is married to.
Although I suppose Eris is both weaker and more subtle than Ophidichan.

She doesn't count as part of Paul's family, really?
As per WoZ the bolt was a single, "low", intensity "watch yourself mister". It would fry a normal human and Grayven thought he couldn't tank another one right after. I really don't think Zeus would respond the same way to his son's murderer. Eris would be told to shut up and sit down and her punishment would be much worse than a fast death. For a simple pig-sty drop prank Zeus wouldn't get involved but Apollo himself will want revenge.
Apollo was simply talking, getting angrier for sure but still just talking. Eris was the one who attacked first and I expect something to happen because of it.
Basically this was an unexpectedly out of character response to words being flung about. It pretty much came out of nowhere and only so much can be attributed to "lol, chaos".

Actually this is punishment for the mess Apollo made and not cleaned up. Eris is just dealing it out right after he admitted it.

But wasn't Aphrodite his great aunt? What with being the result of the gay coupling of Oceanus and Uranus' chopped off wang?

According to Hesiod.
According to Homer, she's the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
According to Plato, both origins were correct- there were two Aphrodites, one celestial whose domain is spiritual love, and one "common" whose domain is physical love/desire.
And that doesn't even cover the theory that Aphrodite's origin is that of a non Greek deity that just got popular among the Greeks.

From what I see in my epub wasn't the above links supposed to be all orange?
In fact in this thread:
So which one is the correct one?
Their family tree is more like kudzu.
Or not. The Ophidian is powerful enough that Zeus is likely to think twice about attacking someone associated with her, just as he was reluctant to attack Hypnos because his mother is Nyx (who may be the mother of Eris too, if that's the mythology Mr Zoat is using).
That demonstrates both that he'll back down if an opponent is powerful enough, and that Eris may well have such protection.
And Mr Zoat during the Paulphidian episode mentioned Zeus as being "powerful enough to matter" in a fight against Paulphidian; that implies that he's both quite powerful, but by no means capable of just swatting her aside.

Oh El is unfortunately too tangled in the hero business to go hunting every genius. Now if he was a mad genius himself and had the excuse of a future multi universe invasion to make those genious work together...
