A portrait of Nyx (The Night) by Edward Burne Jones (1833-1898). In Greek mythology Nyx was one of the primordial godesses created from Chaos. She mates with Erebus (Darkness) to give birth to Aether (LIght) and Hemera (Day). Later she gives birth to Moros (Doom, Destiny), the Keres (Destruction, Death), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), the Oneiroi (Dreams), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Pain, Distress), the Hesperides, the Moirai (Fates), Nemesis (Indignation, Retribution), Apate (Deceit), Philotes (Friendship), Geras (Old Age), and Eris (Strife)
