Definitions of 'ERIS'

The New Hacker's Dictionary

1. ERIS
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.
