Nychius

In Greek mythology, Nychius (Ancient Greek: Νύχιός means ‘nightly’) was a member of the Ethiopian army who participated in the Trojan War.

Mythology

Nychius followed his leader, King Memnon, to fight on the side of the Trojans during the Trojan War.

“. . .To right, to left
His (i.e. Mennon) stalwart helpers wrought in battle-toil,
Alcyoneus and Nychius, and the son
Of Asius furious-souled; Meneclus' spear,
Clydon and Alexippus, yea, a host
Eager to chase the foe, men who in fight
Quit them like men, exulting in their king.”
