In fact, Erebus, god of the underworld, is the brother of Nyx and together they generated many other children such as Eufrosine, one of the 3 Graces representing Joy Philotes, the deity of friendship Eleos, the deity of mercy Porphyry, a Titan and Styx, goddess of hatred and also the one who gives the name to the river Styx. The Greek gods are well known for being able to generate children by themselves, especially when it comes to the goddesses, and since they do not have shared DNA, they had children between brothers and sisters. Her other sons were the Fates, or the three Moiras, three deities who wove and cut the threads that represented the lives of mortals: Momo, god of sarcasm and infamy Apate, god of deception and lies and Eris, the goddess most famous because she is associated with discord. In many stories based on her, the authors tell that she was the mother of many other deities who “control” the various elements of Heaven and Earth, the first being Uranus, the deity of Heaven. On the other hand, because of the darkness that brings the night, others thought that she lived in an uglier and more dangerous place like Tartarus, the hell where all souls go once they die. The Greeks also had different ideas about where she resided during the day, since it was thought that the world ended after the Pillars of Hercules, and many thought that beyond there was only darkness and dangers never seen before. She is represented as a woman who travels the sky on a chariot drawn by four black horses, wearing only a black cloak so wide that it covers the whole sky. Many think that she is one of the first primordial deities. There are many different schools of thought that tell Nyx’s story, but all are always related to the night.

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.
