Nyx Greek Goddess Statue

In Greek mythology, Nyx is the goddess and personification of the night. In Hesiod's Theogony, she is the offspring of Chaos, and the mother of Aether and Hemera (Day) by Erebus (Darkness). By herself, she produces a brood of children which are personifications of primarily negative forces. She features in a number of early cosmogonies, which place her as one of the first deities to exist. In the works of poets and playwrights, she lives at the ends of the Earth, and is often described as a black-robed goddess who drives through the sky in a chariot pulled by horses. In the Iliad, Homer relates that "she is greater than all the gods together" and even Zeus fears to displease her.

Night is a prominent figure in several theogonies of Orphic literature, in which she is often described as the mother of Uranus and Gaia. In the earliest Orphic cosmogonies, she is the first deity to exist, while in the later Orphic Rhapsodies, she is the daughter and consort of Phanes, and the second ruler of the gods. She delivers prophecies to Zeus from an adyton, and is described as the nurse of the gods. In the Rhapsodies, there may have been three separate figures named Night.

In ancient Greek art, Nyx often appears alongside other celestial deities such as Selene, Helios and Eos, as a winged figure driving a horse-pulled chariot. Though of little cultic importance, she was also associated with several oracles. The name of her Roman equivalent is Nox. 

Nyx was the beautiful and powerful goddess of night in Greek mythology, wonderfully depicted here in the Nyx Greek Goddess Statue. Made from cold-cast bronze, this statue depicts the goddess appearing to float in the air. Her hair flows out behind her tilted head. She wears a flowing blue dress that curls underneath her to form the bottom of the statue. Small stars adorn the dress. Also, at the bottom, the dress has a plaque that reads Nyx. Meanwhile, the goddess holds onto a sheet that matches her dress. The sheet curves behind her. It also features stars in addition to a moon. In her left hand, the goddess holds a scepter with a crescent moon on the top. This statue looks right at home in an ancient Greek decor or mythology collection.
