I don't see them as much as I'd like, what with all my nocturnal interests.
Who am I?
Hrm...
Don't most Greek Tragedies/Comedies have a chorus with singing and dancing girls? :)
I guess his/her appatite for the night life is a big clue, but I cannot remember an ancient hero who lived like that...
Bacchus?
I'd like to think it's more oblique than that though.
No, but both in the right area.
How about Selene, or any other version of a moon goddess from classical myth?
Nope. No need to guess the clues are all there.
In the Oresteia trilogy by Aeschylus, which tells the story of the family of Agamemnon (king of Argos), the choir sings about Nyx
Of course, that is just a general "oh mother" and not actually the "mater familias". And I don't think Agamemnon or Orestes had any particular taste for the night ...Quote:
O mother Nyx, hear me, mother who gave birth to me as a retribution for the blind and the seeing."
Searching on ...
Salome?
Zeus?

Morpheus.
But of course not, that is not an answer to scorn a group of guessers over.
