Extrait du document
(Nox; Night) Greek The goddess of night,
daughter of Chaos and sister of Erebus (Darkness).
Nyx was the mother of Ether (Air), Hemera (Day),
and a series of abstract forces such as destiny, sarcasm,
and deceit. She lived in a realm far to the west, beyond
the setting Sun and beyond the lands of Atlas. Nyx
rode in a chariot pulled by two horses. People saw in
her both good and bad. She was the bringer of rest
from the worries of the day and the bringer of death
and darkness.
