Erebus
Greek god, darkness
Erebus is the primordial deity of darkness in Greek mythology, born from Chaos and representing the deep shadow of the underworld.
The name extends to a region of Hades through which the dead pass.
Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica, takes its name from this association with the underworld's darkness.
