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}.
