Characteristics[]
In Greek mythology, Nyx (/nɪks/ NIX; Ancient Greek: Νύξ Nýx, [nýks], "Night") is the goddess and personification of the night. In Hesiod's Theogony, she is the offspring of Chaos, and the mother of Aether and Hemera (Day) by Erebus (Darkness). By herself, she produces a brood of children consisting of various personifications of abstract and primarily negative forces. Nyx features prominently in Orphic sources, where she is considered to be the mother of Uranus and often Gaia, and sometimes the daughter and consort of Phanes. In such accounts, she is variously described as the first being to exist, or as the second ruler of the gods.
Nyx is typically portrayed as a winged goddess riding in a chariot preceded by the constellations, or as traversing the firmament covered with a black veil studded with stars. Sometimes her veil seems to be floating on the wind, while she approaches the earth to extinguish a flaming torch which she carries in her hand. The name of her Roman equivalent is Nox (Night).
