Nox, or Nyx, the Goddess of Night, was extremely ancient. She is a primordial goddess and therefore, it is hard to say exactly where Nyx was born, as she was said to come into existence alonside or even before the Gaia the Earth. Unlike Zeus, who was raised in a specific place (Mt. Ida in Crete), Nyx was not born on the Earth.

"Question should read 'who' not 'what' and the answer is Nyx" Don't be so cocky if you're going to get the answer wrong. Nyx is the greek goddess of the night. The roman one is Nox. And the 'who' and 'what' depends on if you believe it was an actual existing person or not. Seeing as they were really just fictituous personalities represented by idols or the like then the preface 'What' is perfectly acceptable.
