Eris

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}.
