How Nyx DarkSky Got Her Name Nyx, Greek Goddess of Night ...Black-winged Night Into the bosom of Erebus dark and deep Laid a wind-born egg, and as the seasons rolled Forth sprang Love, the longed-for, shining, with wings of gold. --Aristophanes Long before creation and the appearance of deities, humans, and nature, the ancients believed that their existed only the formless void of chaos--black, empty, silent, and endlessly yawning into infinity. According to the Orphic mysteries, out of this primeval chaos arose the first deity, NYX, Mother of Night, in the form of a great black-winged spirit hovering over a vast sea of darkness. Acient Night conceived of the Wind and laid her silver Egg in the gigantic lap of Darkness. The upper section of this gigantic Egg formed the vault of the sky and the lower section was the earth. From the Egg sprang the son of the rushing Wind--a god with golden wings, named Eros, the spirit of love. The most beautiful of all the immortal gods emerged to create the earth. This first born of Mother Night is also known as Phanes, "The Revealer," related to the Greek word for light. An Orphic hymn praised him, "Ineffable, hidden brilliant scion, whos motion is whirring, you scattered the dark mist that lay before your eyes and, flapping your wings, you whirled about, and though this world you brought pure light..." NYX, whos name literally means night, was revered for her oracular powers. She could see beyond the night of the present, and her visions were made known from a cave that she shared with her son, Phanes. There Nyx displayed herself in a triple form as Night, Order, and Justice, and she ruled the universe until her power passed over to Uranus with the coming of the patriarchal gods. NYX, invoked as nocturnal one, came from the earliest substratum of mythology, and by classical times she had little or no cult worship. Homer, who regarded NYX as one of the GREATEST GODDESSES, of whom even Zeus stands in awe, tells in "THEOGONY" another version of the primal mother at the onset of creation. Broad-bosomed Earth; Eros, the spirit of love; Erebus, the personifacation of darkness; and NYX, primordial night, were all fashioned out of the void. Then, from a union of Erebus and NYX, were born Aether (Upper Air/Clear Sky) and Hemera (Day). The Goddess of Night
was said to live in Tartarus (the under-world) jointly with Day. When her
daughter Hemera entered the palace, NYX rode out in a chariot drawn by two
black horses. Accompanied by the stars, she transversed the heavens until
daybreak, when she returned to the palace. NYX was portrayed as a Black-Winged
Goddess draped in a dark garment. On her head was a Black-Spangled Veil, and
she held an extinguished, inverted Torch. She was sometimes shown carrying two
children in her arms-one of them white to personify Sleep, the other black to
symbolize Death.
