#aergia

Flat colored commission

Greek God are supposed to be prestigious being, filled with great powers, a sense of humility and filled with wise knowledge, right ?

Remove all that, and you got theses two.

Aergia, Goddess of laziness, a literal couch potato that play video-games while drinking an excessif amount of "Hellish-Drink energy".

And Hypnos. He's just like Squidward, mean and blue, and full of himself. He have eyebrows that look like wings, but I don't know if he can fly with that.

Together, they are... an unlucky duo that are forced to be roommate in the Underworld.

I hope they have a good video game collection to pass the eternal life.

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.

"I mean, yeah, we'll all be eaten by our own [Divine Beasts] from the inside out eventually, but it's fine. After all, we've got the Boss, and the Boss has us. That's enough for me."

Daemones are also known as Spirit Personifications. There are two kinds of Daemones, agathodaimon and kakodaimon, noble spirits and malevolent spirits, respectively. However, modern scholars and theologists have separated all of the daemones into seven broad categories:

1. Emotions and states of mind, e.g. Love and Hate, Desire, Affection, Anger, Harmony and Discord, Joy and Grief, Laughter, Hope and Fear, Indignation, and Delusion.

2. The human condition, e.g. Birth and Death, Sleep and Dreams, Pleasure and Pain, Youth and Old Age, Wealth and Poverty, Hunger and Disease, Ease and Toil, Fate and Opportunity

3. Qualities, e.g. Strength, Beauty, Grace, Wisdom, and Stupidity

4. Morality, e.g. Valor, Modesty, Moderation, Hubris, Mercy, Truth, Lies, Impiety, Justice, Oath, Respect, and Insolence

5. Voice, e.g. Eloquence, Persuasion, Criticism, Lies, Quarrels, Prayer, Counsel, Curse, Lament, Rumor, Message, Fame, Battle-Cry

6. Actions, e.g. Force, Rivalry, Victory, Labor, Contest, Fighting, Murder

7. State of society, e.g. Peace and War, Good-Governance, Law and Lawlessness, Justice and Injustice

This is part one of a fairly complete list of Daemones referenced in Greek mythology and theology, separated into each of the seven modern categories as best as I can do (I could not find a list where they were separated out, but I feel like it would be helpful if they were, so). Some of the Daemones overlap categories, so it looks like there are repeats.
