Orphne

In Greek mythology, Orphne /ˈɔːrfniː/ (Template:Lang-grc, from ὄρφνη, "darkness"), also known as Styx /ˈstɪks/ (Στύξ) or Gorgyra /ˈɡɔːrdʒərə/ (Γόργυρα, from γοργύρα, "underground drain"),^[1] was a nymph that lived in Hades. With Acheron, she mothered Ascalaphus.^[1]

Orphne also seems to be one translation of the name of the Roman goddess Caligo (Darkness).^[1]
