The name of the goddess, Nyx (in ancient Greek: Nύξ, Nýx, “night”), describes how the dark light, which she embodies, falls from the stars and imposes itself on men and gods. Hesiod claims that he lived in Tartarus according to Greek mythology, his home was, however, beyond the land of Atlas, in the far West, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, where the Greeks believed that the world ended and there was only Darkness, the night. Nyx is also a source of inspiration: the muses sing during the night for the gods and for the goddess Nyx herself.Īccording to tradition, Nyx traveled the skies wrapped in her dark cloak, on a chariot pulled by four black horses. It is said that during the Trojan War, it was Nyx who protected the spies in fact, fugitives and thieves who run away or who move in the night doing evil are her proteges. Taking as source the Theogony of Hesiod, Night was the daughter of Chaos, while in the Orphic cosmogony she appears as daughter of Phanes in the Fabulae, on the other hand, Igino Astronomo mentions her as the daughter of Chaos and Caligine. The exact origin of Nyx is not known some sources speak of her as the daughter of Eros while other sources speak of her and Eros as children of Chaos. Not even Zeus wanted to upset Nyx, as the ancient myths tell she was one of the most powerful goddesses ever mentioned in Greek mythology. The name of the goddess describes how her dark light falls from the stars and imposes itself on men and gods. Nyx was one of the primordial deities of Greek mythology and, as the ancient myths tell, even Zeus was afraid of her the power and mystery that enveloped her were her most precious garment.
