Check out the Orphic Hymn #3 to Night, especially the Athanassaskis and Wolkow translation of the Hymns which has excellent commentary on examples of Nyx's cultus and mentions an oracle dedicated to her at Megara.

It should be noted that google translate has been cited as being quite terrible for latin.

Maybe ask people on reddit for a translation? I think there are subs for stuff like that. Just type in latin translation sub reddit.

Hello! As everyone else has suggested, checking out www.theoi.com for her general backstory and myth is a fantastic place to start when looking for information on her! She is often portrayed as a 'dark goddess/mother' largely due to her role in creation. She's tied to many creation myths and is one of the only other gods that can create other gods. She also resides in Tarturus, which ties her to the 'darkness'. Add in that she's the literal embodiment of night, and there you go. I would also suggest these sites as well;

Some of these have offering tips, rituals done with her or in her name, etc. you'll find that most of this is UPG, but it helps get a general idea regardless. Hope this helps!

Nyx is the Greek Goddess of the night, She was told to be very beautiful.
Nyx is a very unique goddess. Zeus even feared Nyx because she was older and stronger than him. She is the only goddess he’s ever feared. The moonstone is used to honor her and should be used during the full moon.

because of her mysterious and dark nature, many see her as more of a villain but was worshipped as a background deity in many of the ones for other gods and goddesses.
Hope this helped Best of Luck
Blessed Be
