Night personified by, among others, Hesiod and Homer. Homer called her the 'subduer of gods and men', and said that even ZEUS was afraid of her. She is described as the daughter of CHAOS or EROS, the sister of EREBUS, by whom she was the mother of AETHER and HEMERA. Without a husband she gave birth to MOROS, the KERES, THANATOS, HYPNOS, MOMUS, OIZYS, the HESPERIDES, MOERAE and NEMESIS. She is decribed as winged, dark-garbed, and riding in a chariot, trailing the stars behind her
