In Greek mythology, Nyx (Νύξ, Nox in Roman translation) was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). In the ancient cosmogony of Hesiod she was born of Air (Khaos), and breeding with Darkness (Erebos) produced Light (Aither) and Day (Hemera), first components of the primeval universe.

Alone, she spawned a brood of dread spirits, including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife, Pain, as well as Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution. Nyx was a primeval goddess usually represented as simply the substance of night: a veil of dark mist. She was only occasionally personified as a winged goddess or charioteer.
