Erebos/Eribus/ErebuV

Erebos

Eribos
In the darkness Is Godhead 
In the dark there are no shadows or shades
Those are products of the light
The darkness is itself
And has no pretensions otherwise

Whereas legion is the name
Of darkness’s manifold variations
Brought on by the light
There can be no place (Outside of Darkness)

Where light does not impinge on the darkness
But not so vise versa
Outside of light darkness is complete
And absolute

Darkness is not a product of the light
Or a result from a lack of it
Nor is it an enduring legacy of it
Rather it is the beginning and end of all things

From the Genesis:
Now the earth was formless and empty
And darkness was over the surface of the deep
And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
God saw that the light was good
And he separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night."

If one were so inclined as to embrace Judaeo-Christian doctrine
God called light forth from the darkness

Therefore, God is of the Darkness

EREBOS

Greek
Name Transliteration Latin Spelling 

Translation
EreboV Erebos Erebus Darkness (erebos)
SkotoV Skotos Scotus Darkness (skotos)

The name Erebos was also used for the dismal, netherworld realm of Haides.
EREBOS (or Erebus) was the Protogenos (primeval god) of darkness,
Consort of Nyx (Night), whose dark mists enveloped the edges of the world,
And filled the deep hollows of the earth.
His wife Nyx drew these mists across the heavens to bring night to the world,
While his daughter Hemera scattered them bringing day:
One blocking out the light of Aither (shining, blue heaven)
And the other revealing it. 
The bright upper air (aither) was regarded as the source of day
In the ancient cosmogonies rather than the sun.
