NYX: Nyx was looked on as the goddess of night, and to her was attributed power over illness, suffering, dreams, misfortunes, quarrels, war, murder, sleep and death. It is reputed that anything inexplicable or frightening that befell men was attributed to Nyx. She was supposed to occupy a place in the lower world of the Greeks, together with Day. When Day entered the palace, Nyx would ride out in a dark chariot drawn by two dark steeds, and accompanied by many stars, she would traverse the heavens until daybreak, when she would return to the palace.
