|
||
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 <a href="../D/Discordianism.html"><i class="glossterm">Discordianism</i></a> and has since
|
||
been a semi-serious subject of veneration in several ‘fringe’
|
||
cultures, including hackerdom. See <a href="../D/Discordianism.html"><i class="glossterm">Discordianism</i></a>,
