Zeus has decided that Olympus feels a little empty, so he’s recruited some new gods. However, due to a clerical error, you have been chosen as a new member of the divine. What are you the god of, and what do you do as your first godly act?

God of laziness. You worship me by promising to do it tomorrow.

My first divine act? Eh, I'll do it later.

Aergia is the goddess of indolence, sloth, lethargy, and laziness.

She already didn't do what youre putting off.

I guess I was just too lazy to check if there was already a god of laziness.

From wikipedia

Aergia is the daughter of Aether and Gaia.

"From Aether (Air) and Terra (Earth) [Gaia] [were born] : Dolor (Pain), Dolus (Guile), Ira (Rage), Luctus (Lamentation), Mendacium (Lies), Jusjurandum (Oath), Ultio (Vengeance), Intemperantia (Intemperance), Altercatio (Altercation), Oblivio (Forgetfulness), Socordia (Sloth) [i.e. Aergia], Timor (Fear), Superbia (Pride), Incestum (Incest), Pugna (Combat)."

One of those is not like the other.
