Hey guys. Back with round two in my Greek Mythology series. This time around, I want poems on Nyx, who is the goddess of darkness or night. She also isn't talked about too terribly much, so that is what I want from you guys. Anything about her and her mythology. This will be a long run series featuring MANY rare and well-known mythological figures. Standard rules apply. Unlimited entries, prewrites allowed. Points will be added as poems are added to finalists. Now get writing and have fun!

Nyx is just the goddess of night, the god Erebus was the god of darkness anyway this seems like it's going to be really fun! I've done a little research on the gods and goddesses and this'll be the first poem I've ever made for one!
