Evening Mood | by William-Adolphe Bouguereau Yet another Bouguereau painting I plan on adorning my future house with. Maybe you can understand why.In Greek mythology, Nyx (Νύξ, “night”), Nox in Roman translation is the deity of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of personified gods such as Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. She is found in the shadows of the world and only ever seen in glimpses. (Apologies for the lo-fi image.)
