In Greek mythology, Orphne (/ˈɔːrfniː/; Ancient Greek: Ὀρφνή, romanized: Orphnḗ, from ὄρφνη, órphnē, 'darkness'), also known as Styx (/ˈstɪks/; Στύξ, Stýx) or Gorgyra (/ˈɡɔːrdʒərə/; Γόργυρα, Górgyra, from γοργύρα, gorgýra, 'underground drain'),^[1] was a nymph that lived in Hades. With Acheron, she mothered Ascalaphus.^[1]

Orphne also seems to be one translation of the name of the Roman goddess (Darkness).^[2]
