Thing is, Bunny, that's how Boreas wanted to look, or how Hesiod and Homer described him. He was a grumpy, old man, with a scraggly beard, around fifty. He had either black or ice white wings. He had gray, deep eyes, deeper than Athena's. His hair was either a short black, or a long gray. He had snake feet in some. In Greek vase painting Boreas was depicted as a striding, winged god. Sometimes his hair and beard were spiked with ice. In mosaic art he often appears as a gust blowing head with bloated cheeks up among the clouds. This imagery carried over into post-Classical art, and is frequently found in old maps.

Mnemosyne Moneta Thing is, Bunny, that's how Boreas wanted to look, or how Hesiod and Homer described him. He was a grumpy, old man, with a scraggly beard, around fifty.

In mosaic art he often appears as a gust blowing head with bloated cheeks up among the clouds. This imagery carried over into post-Classical art, and is frequently found in old maps. That's what I've been thinking as well. He's suppose to be an old man. That's how he's always depicted. That was his calling. Hence the old saying, "Old man Winter" Yeah. Makes sense now that you think about it, right?

Do you study English as well?
And on a more serious note, they are very much alike, both very dark and mysterious, however, Nyx is more night-time darkness, as opposed to Hecate, who is more dark as in, spooky-secret.

nyx is the goddess of night, my favorit goddess next to artemis, she is the wife of erebus, she was alive before the dawn of time its self.
hecate on the other hand was not born at the dawn of time, is only the goddess of witchcraft, and is married to no one.
and yes i study english, what kind of a question is that?
greek mythologhy is my favrit to learn, history as well.

Umm...that's wrong. All the gods and goddesses were born. None of them were alive before the titans were. I don't even think the titans have been around since before the dawn of time...
Also, I asked that question, because you misspelled the word favorite, you misspelled it again at the end of your post, you misspelled actually, and you misspelled other things, while trying to prove your point. But yea, whatever. You also don't capitalize your "I's" for some reason or another.

It's true, Nyx sprung from Chaos. As did Tartarus and Gaia.

Actually, wrong again. From a scientific point of view, before time, would indicate that it was before the earth got hit by the meteor that broke the moon off, and sent the other 80% of it flying into outer space. Which means that, it was before it got small, when it was the size of like 10 earths, and was not in the gravitational pull of the sun. It got knocked into a position where it can't possibly be removed from it's gravitational pull, because it's size doesn't have the force to do so. Anyways, before it was small, it didn't revolve, so there was no night, which means it is physically, chronologically, scientifically impossible for your theory to be correct.
Win. ^^
