Eris
Eris (�r��s,
�r�-) noun
Greek Mythology.
The goddess of discord.
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.
