Here are some pictures I have found of Nyx, both historical and modern interpretations. If you happen to come across another, please send me the link, I would love to see it!

Enjoy.

Nyx, Eos and Helios
This image depicts Helios rising from the river Okeanos driving a four horse chariot. He is crowned with a sun orb. Above him to the left is Nyx, crowned with a ball of dark mist and driving a two horse chariot. Facing her is the near identical figure of Eos, Goddess of the day, with a ball representing light, and chariot.

Nyx, Hesperus and Selene
Presented here is the procession of the night. Nyx, arm raised to summon darkness, is first. Then comes Hesperos, the evening star. Hesperos is followed by the Goddess of the moon, Selene.

Winged Nyx
The Goddess flies between two horse-drawn chariots, probably that of the dawn and the moon. Here, we see Nyx represented as a winged Goddess.

Chariot of Nyx
This photo shows the Goddess Nyx descending in her chariot from the sky.

Nyx
This image depicts Nyx fighting a Giant. I am unsure of the origin or purpose for this piece of art.

Modern Representation
This is just an image I stumbled upon whilst looking for photos of Nyx, and I thought it was cool.
