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.
