A working woman or goddess of work; relating to ergon (work) in ancient Greek context.
From Greek 'ergane,' meaning 'working woman,' derived from 'ergon' meaning 'work.' The term appears in Greek texts and inscriptions referring to working women or work-related deities.
Athena was sometimes called 'Ergane'—the goddess of wisdom AND work—showing how ancient Greeks saw intellectual and manual labor as equally worthy of divine blessing, not the class distinction later cultures created.
