  1. Nyx is not the goddess of vampires, she is the Greek  goddess of the night and while although vampires work in the night, she is not specifically the goddess of them.There is no goddess of werewolves.The werewolf myth was started by King Lycan.Her served the gods the flesh of his son, and as punishment, turned him into a wolfman.Thus Lycanthrope, Lycanthropy.


  2. You better stay away from him.  He'll rip your lungs out, Jim.

    I'd like to meet his tailor.

  3. Don't think there is werewolves are characterized as men so i don't think they would have a godess

  4. What the h**l is wrong with you?

  5. Following your logic, Selene would be the goddess of the theriomorph (that is, shapeshifter), as she is the moon goddess,  however, in terms of mythology, here is some further information:

    Hecate, a divinity of the Underworld and companion of Persephone, is called the queen of night and the goddess of the cross-roads; her three faces are turned towards as many directions...see the site below for more on Hecate

    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 and Pain...see the site below for more information on Nyx

    SELENE was the Titan goddess of the moon. She was depicted as a woman either riding side saddle on a horse or in a chariot drawn by a pair of winged steeds. Her lunar sphere or crescent was represented as either a crown set upon her head or as the fold of a raised, shining cloak...see site below for more information on Selene

  6. a proper butch

  7. Nyx is the goddess of night. In Greek Νyx (Νυξ)  means night .

    There was not a goddess of vampires neither a goddess of werewolves.

    The only vampire in the Greek Mythology was Lamia.

    If you want you can call her "goddess of vampires" but she was most a she-daemon.

    There were 2 characters with the name Lamia :

    1. Lamia was a Libyan queen loved by the god Zeus. When his jealous wife Hera learned of their affair she stole away her children. Lamia went mad with grief, and tore out her own eyes. Zeus then transformed her into a monster allowing her to exact her revenge by hunting and devouring the children of others.

    Lamia often appears as a bogey-monster, a night-haunting demon which preyed on children. She was sometimes pluralised into ghostly, man-devouring demon Lamiai.

    2. THE LAMIA KORINTHIA was a ghostly daemon who seduced the handsome youth Menippos in the guise of a beautiful woman to consume his flesh and blood. She was expelled by the pagan prophet Apollonios of Tyana who exposed her many illusions.

    The story of the Korinthian Lamia is set in the city of Korinthos (Corinth) in the C1st A.D. The main figure in the story, Apollonios of Tyana, was a respected (historical) pagan prophet of the age.
