- 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}.
