I don’t know if the Greek Nyx and the Egyptian Nuit were equated in ancient times, but the correlation made sense to me. Just my UPG.

Primordial Nyx, Lady Night
Daughter of Chaos, Mother of Strife
Dark-manteled one, of shining eyes
Flowing hair, of pitchest black
Skin ebony-dark,
Like space,
Like fertile earth
Black-cowled robe covering Her face
Eyes bright, shining white
Burning like a thousand suns
The only light in Her visage
Quickly absorbed by the rest of Her
Be careful!
To look into Her eyes
Is to go mad.
Frail mortal mind
Cannot contemplate
Her immensity.
