  I think the reason Nyx doesn&apos;t have a temple is because there is no better temple that represents the goddess of night other than the night sky itself

  My horse is named Nyx. (See my avatar.) She was born pitch black, and slowly shed out to look like a starry night. She’s very sweet, and loves everyone. I loves her.

  I think you&apos;re forgetting a goddess that Zeus was also deeply afraid of, she is named Ananke, Goddess of Necessity, Inevitability, and Fate itself. She was also with Chaos when attempting to hatch the cosmic egg. She&apos;s the creator of the thread that the fates read out, and ties the mythos together and beyond. I suggest looking into her for a video to follow up this one!

  I wish we got to see the primordials be antagonists in myth movies and shows <br><br>Instead of Hades, Ares, etc <br><br>For crying out loud, one is the embodiment of Hell itself

  Who knew the embodiment of Night could give birth to a god of mockery? That&apos;s so random.

  Nyx is the ONLY being that Zeus fears

  I&apos;m not super surprised there&apos;s not much specifically about Nyx in story. In fact, from what I understood, one source I found said only the gods were allowed to worship her. Also, to worship her meant you&apos;re worshipping all that&apos;s dark, mysterious, and generally frowned upon stuff. Kind of like a goth in a church gathering, praising maybe not Satan, but something similar. And back then, that was shunned, and you don&apos;t wanna be outcast in the ancient days. That said, she&apos;s mostly only brought up in passing in most stories because she was that scary. She&apos;s kind of like the lady of pain in D&amp;D terms, you just don&apos;t mess with her generally.<br><br>Also awesome vid! I was wondering when someone would finally talk about someone I always enjoyed learning about, even stuff I didn&apos;t look up! Good stuff!

  I love Nyx because she terrifies Zeus, a woman terrifies Zeus! Ironic!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDxmBL-If2A&amp;t=10">0:10</a> but in my defense.... If you asked me about Greek God&apos;s, I, for some reason, would not think of the primordials.... Just like I also wouldn&apos;t think of the titans

  It&apos;s been way too long. I just finished Blood of Zeus and I&apos;m on my Greek Mythology kick again.

  Loved the mythology of Nyx and her brother Erebus for the longest time. It’s why it’s been my internet handle for over 30 years.
