The original Greek form of demiurge; a creator figure or public craftsman in ancient Greek thought.
Direct from ancient Greek 'δημιουργός' (demiourgos), composed of 'demos' (people) plus 'ergon' (work). This is the unmodified Greek term used in classical texts.
In ancient Athens, a 'demiurgos' was literally a skilled tradesman working for public benefit—Plato brilliantly borrowed this humble title for the cosmic architect, suggesting even divine creation is 'honest work'!
