In Greek mythology, Orphne (/ˈɔːrfniː/; Ancient Greek: Ὀρφνή, from ὄρφνη, "darkness"), also known as Styx (/ˈstɪks/; Στύξ) or Gorgyra (/ˈɡɔːrdʒərə/; Γόργυρα, from γοργύρα, "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 Caligo (Darkness).[2]
