Nyx, Goddess of the night.  A real woman of darkness, she is born of Chaos.  Mother to Oneirata (dreams), Hypnos (sleep), Thanatos (death), Oizys (distress) and Nemesis (avenging God of justice) amongst other dark powers.  She is greatly feared - even by Zeus, the king of the Gods.

I always have been afraid of the dark.
Greek Mythology might well be a new-found fascination of mine.
