(Redirected from Gorgyra)
InGreek mythology, Orphne (; Ancient Greek: Ὀρφνή, romanized: Orphnḗ, from ὄρφνη, órphnē, 'darkness') was a nymph that lived in Hades. She was also known as Styx (; Στύξ, Stýx) or Gorgyra (; Γόργυρα, Górgȳra, from γόργυρα, górgȳra, 'underground drain').[1] With Acheron, she mothered Ascalaphus.[2]
Orphne also seems to be one translation of the name of the Roman goddess Caligo (Darkness).[3]
