"Hypnosis" comes from the Greek god Hypnos, who was the god of sleep. Each night he rose into the sky on the train of his mother, Nyx (Night), and is often associated with his twin brother Thanatos (Peaceful Death). In some versions, his children are the Oneiroi (Dreams). He is often depicted with a branch dripping with water from the river Lethe (Forgetfulness), a horn of sleep-inducing opium, and a poppy stem.

What does Emily mean in Greek mythology?

In Greek mythology, the name Emily does not have a specific meaning or significance, as it is not derived from Greek origins. The name is more commonly associated with Latin roots, particularly stemming from the Latin name "Aemilia," which means "rival" or "eager." In the context of Greek mythology, figures such as Emelia may be interpreted, but the name itself is not tied to any particular myth or character.
