Nyx in Wikipedia
            In Greek mythology, Nyx (Νύξ, "night", Nox in Roman 
translation) was the primordial goddess of the night. A 
shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of 
creation, and was the mother of personified gods such as 
Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). Her appearances in 
mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of 
exceptional power and beauty...
