 Erebus

In Greek mythology, Erebus , also Erebos (, "Érebos", "deep darkness, shadow" or "covered"), was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's "Theogony" identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos.The perceived meaning of "Erebus" is "darkness"; the first recorded instance of it was "place of darkness between earth and Hades".
