Nyx

[Merrie]

I have a sudden interest in the night goddess Nyx, but don't have much information on her. Can anyone help me there? Anything you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!! :D

I believe she is Greek... Check the encyclopedia mythica...

Look above in the stuck thread about finding God/desses online. Maybe you'll find something there.

I have some information on her lying around here somewhere, and I will post it when I find it. Until then, the Encyclopedia Mythica is the most conscise information I have found on her.

You might also want to look her up under the name Nox, which is her Roman counterpart (though she differs a little).

If you have any specific questions, throw them my way. I have a good deal of random knowledge about Nyx/Nox.

I also have a strong interest in Nyx. I was looking through a list of Greek Gods and when I her name I just stopped. I felt so drawn to her even though I new nothing about her. Also kind of a night person myself it's 2 am in Australia at the moment.

Nyx was the embodiment of night. She was sometimes linked with Erebos, the embodiment of the underworld, and their children included Hemera (dawn), the Oneira (dream deities), Thanatos (embodiment of death) and others.
