Eris
/e'ris/ n. The Greek goddess of Chaos, Discord, Confusion,
and Things You Know Not Of; her name was latinized to Discordia and
she was worshiped by that name in Rome. Not a very friendly deity
in the Classical original, she was reinvented as a more benign
personification of creative anarchy starting in 1959 by the
adherents of Discordianism and has since been a semi-serious
subject of veneration in several `fringe' cultures, including
hackerdom. See Discordianism, Church of the SubGenius.
