When you think of gods, you think of Mount Olympus. When you think of the most powerful gods, you think Zeus or Athena, but who really is the most powerful god or goddess? The answer is probably Nyx, goddess of the night. She was the first goddess ever made, formed from the dead of night. Her children were many, most notable being Hypnos, the god of sleep. Even Zeus, king of the gods, was afraid of her. She was always a rather mysterious character in the realm of the gods. She rode a chariot made of shadow and carried a shadow whip to boot.

ReplyDeleteWhy was Zeus afraid of Nyx? Also why is she more powerful than any other gods? Some gods have equal or greater power too Nyx, so I find it interesting that you think she is the most powerful. I really enjoyed this article. Maybe you could explain more about Nyx.
Honestly I disagree I would think that Gaia was the most powerful god. Nyx is still very powerful but Gaia was the goddess of earth and is also known as mother nature. Although Nyx is very power and so is Gaia, but maybe neither of them was the most powerful. Neither of them is my favorite god, my favorite is either Poseidon or Athena. Is Nyx your favorite God if not who is?
ReplyDeleteProbably Athena or Hephaestus.
Deletegonna commit taboo and Necro this article/reply - Gaia challenged Zeus and lost using Typhon. Though one of the originals she wasn't a very powerful god compared to others. Nyx is the personification of night born from chaos just like Gaia but not bound to the planet (as Gaia is earth itself) If you want an idea just how powerful Nyx is look up one of her children called
DeleteMoros - the personification of impending doom. Capable of destroying gods as his will constructed fate itself. Even Zeus did everything in his power to avoid his gaze as he was powerless against the weavers of fate. That is only one of the many scary offspring of Nyx
Why is Nyx the most powerful? There are a ton of powerful gods and goddesses. Every god is powerful in their own way, even if they do not seem like they are. I think it is a matter of opinion. I wonder if there is a way to find the most powerful god. I found this article very interesting. Why, in your opinion, is Nyx the most powerful god?
ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing is that they never explain why the gods were afraid of her. Maybe it was that she was just so terrifying. It mentions that she was terrifying to just look at, like she was made of all the known horrors in the world.
