Eris

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἔρις (Éris), from ἔρις (éris, “strife”). See also Eris (mythology) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia and Eris (dwarf planet) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɪəɹɪs/, /ˈɛɹɪs/ === Proper noun === Eris (Greek mythology) The goddess of discord and strife, whose apple of discord sparked events that eventually led to the Trojan War; equated by Homer with Enyo (goddess of violent war) and identified with the Roman goddess Discordia;(religion, Discordianism) the same figure as principal deity of Discordianism, regarded as the goddess of disorder. 1993, Herman Parret, The Aesthetics of Communication: Pragmatics and Beyond, Springer, Softcover reprint, page 18, Eris, "the Strife with the violent heart", one reads in Hesiod's Theogony, is a child of the Night, and "Hateful Struggle gave birth to painful Distress and Distraction and Famine and tearful Sorrow; also Wars and Battles and Murders and Slaughters; also Feuds and Lying Words and Angry Words". (astronomy) The celestial body 136199 Eris, the most-massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System and the largest known object in the scattered disk; formerly nicknamed Xena. An unincorporated community in Champaign County, Ohio, United States. ==== Usage notes ==== (Greek mythology): Classical references to Eris apparently relate to either of two different goddesses. In Homer's Iliad, Eris is equated with Enyo, goddess of violent war and sister/consort of Ares, who shares Ares' parentage: Zeus and Hera. Hesiod, meanwhile, in his Works and Days, distinguishes two figures named Eris: A daughter of Nyx (conceived by Nyx alone), with numerous children of her own (listed in Hesiod's Theogony); Another, presumed to be the one that Homer equates with Enyo. For more details see Eris (mythology) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia (Discordian goddess): In Discordian contexts, Eris is sometimes described as the Greek goddess of chaos; strictly speaking, however, this role is attributed to her only within Discordianism, and not in Greek mythology. (dwarf planet): Due to a delay in classifying the object (ultimately, as a dwarf planet), and thus in officially naming it, it became widely known by the nickname used by the discovery team: Xena, after the titular character of the TV series Xena: Warrior Princess. Its satellite was similarly nicknamed Gabrielle, after the principal supporting character. ==== Synonyms ==== (goddess): Discordia (Roman mythology) (dwarf planet): (official designation): 136199 Eris, (136199) Eris (alternative designations): 2003 UB313, (136199) 2003 UB313, 136199 Eris (2003 UB313) (See Provisional designation in astronomy on Wikipedia.Wikipedia ) Xena (informal, obsolete) (astronomy, astrology): ⯰ (astrology): ⯱ ==== Coordinate terms ==== (Greek goddess): Harmonia (goddess of harmony and concord) (Discordian goddess): Aneris (goddess of order) (dwarf planet): Dysnomia (satellite) ==== Derived terms ==== Eridian Erisian Erisianism Eris I ==== Related terms ==== Aneris eristic ==== Translations ==== === See also === apple of discord (most likely dwarf planets of the Solar System) Ceres, Orcus, Pluto, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris, Sedna === Further reading === Eris (mythology) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Judgement of Paris on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Discordianism on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Eris (dwarf planet) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia IAU definition of planet on Wikipedia.Wikipedia List of most distant trans-Neptunian objects on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Eris in the Encyclopædia Britannica (11th edition, 1911) === Anagrams === EIRs, Iser, SIer, Seri, eirs, ires, reis, rise, sire == Albanian == === Etymology === From erë (“wind”), probably contaminated with Ancient Greek ἔρις (éris, “strife”). === Proper noun === Eris m a male given name ==== Declension ==== == Czech == === Etymology === Borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἔρις (Éris). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈɛrɪs] Hyphenation: Eris === Proper noun === Eris f (relational adjective Eridin) (Greek mythology) Eris, the goddess of discord, confusion, and strife ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === Proper noun === Eris f (indeclinable) (astronomy) Eris, a dwarf planet and a large Kuiper belt object === Further reading === “Eris”, in Kartotéka Novočeského lexikálního archivu (in Czech) “Eris”, in Slovník spisovného jazyka českého (in Czech), 1960–1971, 1989 == German == === Pronunciation === === Proper noun === Eris f (proper noun, genitive Eris) (astronomy) Eris (dwarf planet) == Italian == === Etymology === From Ancient Greek Ἔρις (Éris). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛ.ris/ Rhymes: -ɛris Hyphenation: È‧ris === Proper noun === Eris f (Greek mythology) Eris Eris (dwarf planet) === References === === Anagrams === IRES, ersi, resi, rise, seri, sire == Polish == === Etymology === Learned borrowing from Latin Eris. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛ.ris/ Rhymes: -ɛris Syllabification: E‧ris === Proper noun === Eris f (indeclinable) (Greek mythology) Eris (Greek goddess of discord and strife, whose apple of discord sparked events that eventually led to the Trojan War) Synonym: Eryda Eris (dwarf planet) === See also === === Further reading === Eris in Polish dictionaries at PWN Eris in PWN's encyclopedia == Spanish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈeɾis/ [ˈe.ɾis] Rhymes: -eɾis Syllabification: E‧ris === Proper noun === Eris m (Greek mythology) Eris (Greek goddess) (astronomy) Eris (dwarf planet) === Proper noun === Eris f a female given name == Welsh == === Pronunciation === (North Wales) IPA(key): /ˈɛrɪs/ (South Wales) IPA(key): /ˈeːrɪs/, /ʊˈɛrɪs/ Rhymes: -eːrɪs === Proper noun === Eris m (Greek mythology, Roman mythology) Eris (astronomy) Eris === See also === === Mutation === === References === R.
