Eris
     
        /e'ris/ The Greek goddess of Chaos, Discord, Confusion, and
        Things You Know Not Of; her name was latinised 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 {Church of the SubGenius}.
