Eris was the Greek Goddess of Chaos, Discord, and Strife. The Romans worshiped her as Discordia.
She is currently worshiped by the Discordians, and occasionally placated by the Church of the SubGenius as the goddess of Chaos, Confusion, Discord, Athletic Competition, Small Press Publications, Pointless Arguments, Hot Dog Buns, and the Internet. She is currently worshipped by the Discordians, and occasionally placated by the Church of the SubGenius.
The so-called 10th planet – which was discovered on January 5th of 2005 and which caused the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet status—was officially named Eris on September 13th of 2006. The name was suggested because this dwarf planet, like its Greek namesake, caused much discord and strife among the astronomical community. [1]
