There is no Greek word for "evil" because evil is just bad with more malicious or sinful intent attached to it. However the Greeks didn't look at things that way.
The most commonly used words for "Evil" are kakos (bad) and poneros (sly). I suppose it depends on what you are reading or what the implication is.

β 13y agoIm not sure.. but from looks in some pictures it looks like the goddess Nyx.
Wrong:
Nyx is the goddess of the night. There may be an unknown goddess of evil though. Could you possibly mean Persephone? She is forced to rule at Hades side during the winter. But she is the goddess of spring and flowers...
Evil;
It depends upon what you mean by 'evil', I'm guessing you mean murder or death; or such beings that enjoy torment. There are then the evil spirits released into the world by Pandora's jar, and some say these are related to the spirit goddesses called the 'Keres' or Ker, they covered a host of reasons for death - from violent or cruel death, including death in battle, by accident, murder or ravaging disease.
