: If this is Michael Crichton's 13th Warrior, my
: understanding of Crichton is that he is, first and
: foremost, an author pandering to his audience, not a
: historian. He's somewhat notorious for things like the
: amber-mosquito DNA, and I wouldn't put it past him to
: mix up a few gods to make his story more interesting.
: As for Nyx, the goddess mentioned is also called Nox. She
: is indeed a night goddess, the daughter of Chaos, and
: as Doom's post suggested, of Grecian origin. The
: corresponding Norse goddess is named Nott, and seems
: quite divergent from her Greek counterpart. While it
: would be interesting if the personalities of one of
: these goddesses reflected that of their Myth namesake,
: it seems to me that the similarity of names is the
: extent of their association.
I actually saw part of the movie over the holiday break; I think i'm more partial to my sources than his ;), and I thank you for your support. =)
: I suppose I ought to introduce myself as well. I posted
: for a while a few years ago, as Lucan. I've been
: lurking from time to time and felt like getting
: re-involved. Woot.
