Erebus

In Greek mythology, Erebus was a god who did not associate with many. He is the brother of Nyx and father of Aether, Nyx, Hemera, Moros, Charon, and Eros. According to some later legends, Erebus was part of the darkest parts of the underworld. It was where the dead had to pass immediately after dying. Erebus was often used as a synonym for Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. Also, Erebus was the name of the gloomy space through which souls passed on their way to Hades.
