The god of "darkness" in Greek mythology. He represents the primordial darkness or the underworld. Born from Chaos, he mated with his sister, Nyx, the god of night, and gave birth to Hemera, the god of "day," and Aither, the god of the "shining heavens." During the battle between Zeus and the Titans, he sided with the Titans, and was cast into the eternal hell of Tartarus.
