Aergia


In Greek mythology, Aergia is the personification of sloth, idleness, indolence and laziness. She is the translation of the Latin Socordia, or Ignavia. She was translated to Greek because Hyginus mentioned her based on a Greek source, and thus can be considered as both a Greek and Roman goddess.

Family

Aergia is the daughter of Aether and Gaia.

Mythology

According to Statius, Aergia is said to guard the court of Hypnos in the Underworld.
Aergia's opposite character is Horme, a goddess of effort. As the goddess of sloth she owns many servants who do her bidding from the mortal plane, and as such, Aergia has claimed rule over any mortal that has fallen victim to her influence.
