"Who is the Goddess of chaos? I know the name. It's on the tip of my tongue"
"That would be Eris."
"Hmm, wikipedia calls her 'Goddess of strife and discord'. That's close enough.
This is her time.
Here she is on a piece of Attic pottery. In mythology she is held responsible for kicking off the train of events that led to the Trojan War.....
Love those boots!
By chance (only these things are never Chance) her name was given to a dwarf planet that was discovered on the edge of the solar system at the beginning of the present century. Planet Eris is smaller than Pluto but has greater mass....
....and has a moon that has been named Dysnomia, meaning lawlessness.
The Discordian religion, which was founded in the 1960s, has Eris as its presiding Deity. Erisians believe every man and woman on the planet is a Pope and are enjoined to disbelieve everything they read including, I presume, the Erisian scriptures.....
