Apparently, I could either be the daughter of Nyx, goddess of night, the daughter of Nyx and Erebos, the god of darkness, the daughter of Nyx and Zeus, or even the daughter of Zeus and Hera and Ares' twin (although, Ares prefers that I am the daughter of Nyx, and only Nyx; he doesn't want to be related to me <pout>)! Imagine that!
If I really am the daughter of Nyx, that would mean that I'm related to:
- the Fates
- Nemesis
- Apate (Deceit)
- Philotes (Friendship)
- Geras (Old Age)
That's all I have about my lineage! But, I can give some introductions to my kids.
I have a lot of children, known as the Kakodaimones ("evil spirits"). My adorable children are:
- Ponos (Toil)
- Lethe (Forgetfulness)
- Limos (Starvation)
- the Algae (Pains)
- the Hysiminai (Fights)
- the Makhai (Battles)
- the Phonoi (Murders)
- the Androktasiai (Man-slaughters)
- the Neikea (Quarrels)
- the Psuedo-Logoi (Lies)
- the Amphilogiai (Disputes)
- Dysnomia (Lawlessness)
- Ate (Ruin)
- Horkos (Oath)
A fun fact about my lovely progeny is that these children were officially released into the world when Pandora (idiot girl) opened her box.
So, hoping that this is enough, I'll be leaving you now! If you don't think this information is sufficient, you're welcome to try and stalk me. Let me rephrase that...If you don't like how I was born, I'll make sure you wish you weren't born.
P.S. I googled all of this, since none of the other gods will give me a straight answer. Here are my sources listed...
