"and her commitment to the underworld and her children is absolute." god i love nyx she is an absolute bastion of hope and comfort for me. i would do anything for her and i know she wouldn't ask. this game slaps
This might be the first work of fiction to give the Greek Chaos a characterization. Nyx has had some in a few other works like Smite (as Nox), but this seems to be Chaos' first
@@magoichi75 to be more precise, you cannot slap one on them because they are both sexes and neither. Concepts of things like chaos are weird like that.
KHAOS (Chaos) was the first of the primordial gods (protogenoi) to emerge at the dawn of creation. She was followed in quick succession by Gaia (Gaea, Earth), Tartaros (the Pit Below) and Eros (Procreation). Khaos was the lower atmosphere which surrounds the earth--both the invisible air and the gloom of fog and mist. The word khaos means "gap" or "chasm" being the space between heaven and earth. Khaos was the mother and grandmother of the other misty essences--Erebos (the mists of netherworld darkness), Aither (the ethereal mists of heaven), Nyx (the night) and Hemera (the day), as well as the numerous emotion-driving Daimones (Spirits) which haunted it. She was also a goddess of fate like her daughter Nyx and grand-daughters the Moirai (Moirae). As the goddess of the Air) Khaos was also the mother of birds, just as Gaia (the Earth) was the mother of land animals, and Thalassa (the Sea) was the mother of fish. Late classical authors redefined Khaos as the chaotic mix of elements which existed in the primordial universe, conflating it with the primal "Mud" of the Orphic cosmogony. The modern English word "chaos" derives from this.
@@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9νIn the video game Hades, they made Chaos a "They" But in the actual greek myth and history Khaos (Chaos) is female, goddess of air, the mother of all birds. I've literally explained its history.
You ever think Chaos misses all their children? Chaos also had a son named Erebus - who married Nyx - who also happen to be siblings (yes guys incest exists in gods). Wonder if Chaos ever asked Nyx how and where Erebus is?
@@lenoracalamint3114 Hestia can't exactly go to Hades to fix the hell out of that family, can she? All in little Zagreus' hands, I fear. Though, it makes for a really wholesome gameplay, so I have no complaints
"Respond." "Alright Master Chaos". And now I understand he called 'Master' not Lady/Lord and 'they' since Chaos is non-binary. yes? Edit: actually, i found out that, Sisyphus called Thanatos "Master" too. But I think it for the equivalent of "Madam Megaera".
I read somewhere that even in Greek myths it wasn't really specified so it's very fitting to just make them non-binary. Besides they are such an old and powerful being that it probably doesn't really matter as well.
5:26 I hope Nyx could protect Zagreus just as when she raised him as her adoptive son. Also, I’m curious when Megaera standing in front of Queen Persephone.
In addition, here are the name children of Erebus and Nyx. There are Aither (Light and Upper Air), Hemera (Day), the Moirai (Destiny): Clotho (Birth and Past), Lachesis (Life and Present), Atropos (Death and Future), Charon (Death and Bone), Thanatos (Peaceful and Gentle Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Nemesis (Punishment, Balance, and Justice), Eris (Discord and Strife), Sophrosyne (Temperance, Abstention, Self-Control, Restraint, and Discretion), Apate (Deception), Dolos (Trickery), Geras (Old Age), the Keres (Violent Death), Arai (Curse), Moros (Doom and Nothingness), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Distress), Epiphron (Prudence, Thoughtfulness, and Carefulness), and Elpis (Hope). Moreover, Nyx is also consort with Chaos and has a daughter Akhlys (Poison). Next, before Nyx adopted the Erinyes (Furies): Alecto (Angry), Megaera (Envy) and Tisiphone (Vengeance), she is consort with Uranus and has a daughter Lyssa (Madness). Finally, Nyx is consort with Cerberus and has the creature Hellhounds.
Nyx and Gaia are two primordial goddesses that no one dares to mess with, even Zeus. Hypno once angered Zeus during Hercules's birth, but Zeus abandoned the hunt when Hypno fleed to his mother Nyx's protection.
@@tatinh9885 You should know that there are Aither (Light and Upper Air), Hemera (Day), the Moirai (Destiny): Clotho (Birth and Present), Lachesis (Life and Past), Atropos (Death and Future), Charon (Death and Bone), Thanatos (Peaceful and Gentle Death), Hypnos (Sleep), Nemesis (Punishment, Balance, and Justice), Sophrosyne (Temperance, Abstention, Self-Control, Restraint, and Discretion), Arai (Curse), Moros (Doom and Nothingness), Epiphron (Prudence, Thoughtfulness, and Carefulness), Elpis (Hope), Akhlys (Poison), Alecto (Angry), Megaera (Envy), Tisiphone (Vengeance) are the best.

Because Zeus hate Hypnos when he doesn’t want to get sleepy and Zeus hate Eris when he doesn’t want to get involved with discord, conflict, disagreement, and incompatibility. Zeus himself feared Nyx enough to retract all threats against her son Hypnos and her daughter Eris.
Is chaos taking the place of Erebus for a love connection with Nyx or is just like meeting up with older family? Cause it sounded like the latter when Chaos said it wanted Nyx to shine bright, almost like a parent.
Chaos is the father of gaia who is the mother/ wife ouranos who father of cronos who is the father of hades who is the father of zagreus he is the ancestor for all the gods
chaos is the single ancestor of all existing gods. they're the progenitor, and their connection with nyx is likely one between a grandparent and grandchild.
I don’t know if you’re replying to people but the Sigil repair hasn’t appeared for my contractor? Is it supposed to happen right after she tells you about it? Or after a run?
I believe it’s because Chaos is supposed to androgynous, so they has both feminine and masculine traits. After all, I don’t think it would be fitting for the literal embodiment of a Chaos to have a defined gender.
They're a different definition of Chaos. In Greek mythology, Chaos was the void from which all sprung, not chaotic, but more... unknown. Chaos' appearance and voice being entirely non-binary reflects thias
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were multiple. Their voice sounds so overwhelming and sounds like a group of people at once. ( which I’m pretty sure is the point) Unlike nyx who only sounds like she has a reverberated voice.
Hey, brother, u got awesome name...🙂 (I found your other comment too). For me having two names with same first letter is cool.
