Aergia, attendant of Hypnos and embodiment of sloth.

I never did much with her but the Hades 2 news is making me want to revisit some stuff.

[dream--interrupted]

Aergia, the personification/goddess of laziness, sloth and idleness. Daughter of Gaia and Aether. She currently works as a guard in the Underworld in her paternal uncle's, Hypnos, house.

She moves so rarely that moss grows on her clothes and spiders have built their homes on her but given that she's the daughter of Gaia, she doesn't mind this at all. In fact she is very fond of the spiders and considers them her pets.

Eshe, my changeling bard (PF2). She has some mother issues.

This game has been so stressful. Two characters have died in different occasions, Eshe has awful dreams sent by her hag mother and our enemy is an ancient war machine android of sorts who is really powerful. 🥲

Aergia, the Greek Goddess of Laziness #MythologyMonday #MythologyMonandæg #folklore #god #lazy #laziness

If you enjoy this post, please retweet it. I’m feeling lazy, so on Mythology Monday, I’m sharing a short wiki post and a YouTube short (below) on the Greek goddess, Aergia, who presided over laziness. If you don’t consider yourself lazy, fear not. The video also mentions her opposite, the goddess Horme. In fact, most of the articles I found on Aergia mention Horme. This makes sense because…

@thxre-is-no-xscape asked:

“Erm, you’re looking a bit out of place here,” said the fire-footed prince as he examined the other with equal parts suspicion and fascination. “You don’t look like any Shade I’ve met in the Underworld. Who are you exactly?”

"Wow, I thought it would have been pretty obvious to the prince." There's a slight bit of sarcasm to Aergia's words, making it difficult to determine her sincerity. "I'm the goddess of sloth, one of Hypnos' retainers."

SHINING LIGHT- THE SEVEN SINS

The news would be broadcasting several reports on Ultra Wormholes across the entirety of the World. Soon, the television was shocked by an electric pulse and destroyed, from one of the seven in the room.

"Eh, what a load'a crock. News wants t'show those holes, let 'em."

"You forget, Dagomet, that we're here for a mission. We're supposed to be doing things quietly and discreetly. I know I certainly closed my portal, but who else but Aergia forgot?"

"...What're you blamin' me for? You know I get blurry-headed after my nap."

"Well you wouldn't HAVE to nap so much if you actually followed a physical routine like the REST of us! The same goes for SATO over THERE who's busy STUFFING HIS FACE."

"Hey, YOU'D be hungry too, Eulises, if you had to go through a portal that was about as thin as Luxia's waistline."

"...Y'know, SOME people would want to have been blessed with such things as a thin waist, or food to eat, or-"

"ENOUGH!" The one known as Haben would slam the table next to him with a single fist, causing it to splinter. "We have our orders. We need to ask around, discreetly, for our information. Now, MOVE."

Hello yes tell us about cthonic gods please

ok ok so

clarification for those that need it: Cthonic deities in Greek Mythology are gods and goddesses and entities that reside in the Underworld

first off i want to say that Hades game was such a godsend for me, because to have such a popular, well-made piece of media that is all about my special interest is like the best gift an autistic person can get

i'll start with my two favorite boys: Hypnos and Thanatos

they are twins, first of all, two sons of Nyx, personification of night, and Erebus, who is darkness (i don't know if Hades game ever touched on this but Hypnos' mom was literally within shouting distance)

Thanatos hates mortals because they hate him (he is not the god of death he just is death, and not many mortals like death) and he hates the Olympians because they can't die, juries out on if he hates his own twin but there is this really cute painting that shows them asleep together, so i would guess ol Thanny is fond of his brother

now also the thing about Thanatos is that he is the personification of peaceful death, it's the furies who deal with violent death, like he's giving people a peaceful passing and they still hate him. death is death i suppose

also i know Thanatos is a love interest in Hades game, but in actual mythology he had no consorts and no children, truly aroace misanthropic king

now onto Hypnos, the personification of sleep, who did fuck, and had at least three children but i'll get to them in a sec

he lives in a grotto on the river Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, one of the five rivers of the Underworld (the others are the Styx, of course, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Acheron), he has his own court of minor gods and goddesses, including one of my personal favorites, Aergia, goddess of sloth and laziness, truly a "yes girl give us nothing!" moment honestly

there's also this story that i love, related to a mortal man who was also the lover of Selene, the moon. his name was Endymion, and in the more well known story, he was so beautiful when he slept, that Selene wanted to keep him in a state of eternal sleep, and they had 50 children, somehow, but the version of the story that i like (for reasons that will be very obvious lol) is that it was actually Hypnos who fell in love with him for the same reason as Selene, so he put Endymion into a state of eternal sleep, specifically with his eyes open, because he loved gazing into them (gay ass) no clue if their relationship was ever consummated like with Selene but one can imagine, this is Greek mythology after all

now Endymion wasn't the only lover Hypnos ever had, he also fell in love with one of Hera's graces (attendants?) whose name was Pasithea, and showing some remarkable restraint for a divine man in Greek myth, instead of abducting her or taking her by force, he asked Hera if he could marry her, and she agreed on the condition that he help turn the tide of the Trojan war (which is not my special interest so do not ask me about it, i know nothing lol)

with Pasithea, Hypnos had three sons, the most famous of which was Morpheus, god of dreams, his other two sons were Phobetor and Phantasos, but they all represent different aspects of dreaming, objects, beasts and people. Morpheus was specifically people in dreams, but he was the clear favorite and sort of took up the whole mantle from the other two Oneiroi

actually, addendum because i looked it up to check and the Oneiroi are the sons of Somnus, Hypnos' Roman equivalent, in Greek mythology they are his brothers. the rest of that is accurate though

so to summarize: Thanatos, aroace king, Hypnos, respectful if a bit weird bisexual, Aergia, just hangin' honestly

the twins have been depicted many ways, sometimes old men, sometimes babies, but i think most often they ended up being depicted as epheboi, teenagers

also it is very important that you know that Hypnos has head wings in a lot of his depictions, i forget if they depicted that in Hades but honestly who cares his design slaps either way

onto the most interesting thing for me about Hades game: Zagreus. he's obscure in Greek mythology, like all of Hades' alleged children, Macaria and Melinoe being the two i can remember. some scholars believe Zagreus to actually be Dionysus, because Dionysus also has ties to the underworld, i think in relation to his mother, like he had to rescue her from there or something? kind of a reverse of what Zagreus is trying to do in the game

i.... i think that's all the info i have to dump

i will not advocate for the accuracy of everything in this ramble (especially not the Zagreus/Dionysus bit, the stance among scholars might've changed since i acquired this information lol) but i certainly had fun thank you so much for asking me about this
