The Goddess Nyx
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nyx is a goddess full of power and beauty, but has a dark side to her as well. Nyx is the embodiment of the night and is the mother of all things mysterious or inexplicable. Nyx influences sickness and war and is the bringer of night. She rides her chariot across the sky, trailing stars behind her- coating her path with darkness. Nyx is usually accompanied by two of her children, Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death).<\/p>\n

Nyx is also known as Nux, Nox or simply Night. This goddess of the night was born from chaos and is one of the first-born elemental gods. She later married her brother Erebus and he is the father of some of her children. Nyx is the mother of many. Some think that Hypnos and Thanatos are her only children, but she was the mother to many more.<\/p>\n

Her children are believed to be:
\nAether- the god of air
\nApate- the goddess of deceit
\nDolos- the god of trickery
\nEleos- the goddess of mercy
\nEpiphron- the god of prudence
\nEris- the goddess of strife
\nEros- the god of procreation
\nGeras- the god of old age
\nHemera- the goddess of daylight
\nHybris- the goddess of insolence
\nHypnos- the god of sleep
\nKharon- the ferryman for the dead
\nMomos- the god of ridicule
\nMoros- the god of doom
\nNemesis- the goddess of retribution
\nOizys- the goddess of misery
\nPhilotes- the goddess of friendship
\nSophrusyne- the goddess of moderation
\nThanatos- the god of non-violent death
\nThe Hesperides- goddesses of the evening
\nThe Moirai- the fates
\nThe Oneiroi- spirits of dreams
\nThe Erintes- the furies
\nThe Keres- goddesses of violent death<\/p>\n

Nyx was also known for her prophetic powers. She is generally associated with owls and bats. Her planet is obviously the moon and the best time to connect with her is on a Monday, especially around Yule. \u00a0Nyx represents nightmares, mystery, dreams, darkness and night.<\/p>\n

Her name may seem familiar if you have read any of the House of Night books, as Nyx plays a key role as the goddess for vampires. Also, a recently discovered moon of pluto was named Nix in honor of the goddess. Some people may also recognize her name because of Nyx Cosmetics, who named the company after this powerful goddess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
