The mythologies spotlighted in this set are Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Celtic, Native American, Japanese and African.




I drew this sketch art card of Nyx from Greek Mythology for the Classic Mythology III trading card set.



Nyx – Greek Mythology – Nyx was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). In the cosmogony of Hesiod she was born of Air (Khaos), and breeding with Darkness (Erebos) produced Light (Aither) and Day (Hemera), first components of the primeval universe. Alone, she spawned a brood of dark spirits, including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife, Pain, Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a shadowy figure of exceptional power and beauty.
