Meaning & History
Nyx is the personification of the night in Greek mythology. Her name derives from the Ancient Greek word nyx (νύξ), meaning "night.” In Hesiod’s Theogony, she is the offspring of Khaos (Chaos) and the wife of Erebus (Darkness). Together, they produced Aether (Upper Sky) and Hemera (Day). By herself, Nyx gave birth to a brood of personified forces, many of them negative: Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), the Oneiroi (Dreams), Ker and the Keres (Fates of violent death), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Misery), the Hesperides (Evening nymphs), the Moirai (Fates), Nemesis (Retribution), Apate (Deceit), Geras (Old Age), Eris (Strife), and others.
