In Greek mythology, Aergia (/e;;;rd;;/; Ancient Greek: ;;;;;;, 'inactivity')[1] 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. Aergia's opposite character is Horme, a goddess of effort.
Aergia
A lazy morning
Turns into a game
Of slow waking,
And then a day is dragged
Through a transparent air.
She is as slow
As the river
And she's got nothing to do
But to observe the world idly
From the balcony.
This a symbol
Of low productivity.
Aergia
