In Hesiod's Theogony, Oizys is one of the offspring of Nyx (Night), produced without the assistance of a father. According to the Roman authors Cicero and Hyginus, "Miseria" (Misery) is one of the offspring of the Nox (Night, the Roman equivalent of Nyx) and Erebus. Oizys has no distinct mythology of her own.
