What is "dysnomia"

Dysnomia ( Greek: Δυσνομία)—officially (136199) Eris I Dysnomia—is the only known moon of the dwarf planet Eris (the most massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System). It was discovered in 2005 by Mike Brown and the laser guide star adaptive optics team at the W. M. Keck Observatory, and carried the provisional designation of until officially named Dysnomia (from the Ancient Greek word meaning "lawlessness") after the daughter of the Greek goddess Eris.

Dysnomia can refer to the following:

• Anomic aphasia, also known as Dysnomia, a condition affecting memory
• Dysnomia (deity), "Lawlessness" - a child of the mythological Greek goddess Eris
• Dysnomia (moon), a moon of the dwarf planet Eris
• Dysnomia (genus), a genus of freshwater mussels now known as Epioblasma
• Dysnomia (album), an album by Dawn of Midi

Dysnomia (; "lawlessness"), imagined by Hesiod among the daughters of "abhorred Eris" ("Strife"), is the daemon of "lawlessness", who shares her nature with Atë ("ruin"); she makes rare appearances among other personifications in poetical contexts that are marginal in ancient Greek religion but become central to Greek philosophy: see Plato's Laws.
