In [[Greek mythology]], '''Orphne''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɔːr|f|n|iː}} {{respell|ORF|nee}}; {{langx|grc|Ὀρφνή|Orphnḗ}}, from {{Langx|grc|ὄρφνη|órphnē|darkness|label=none}}) was a [[nymph]] that lived in [[Hades]]. She was also known as '''Styx''' ({{IPAc-en|s|t|ɪ|k|s}} {{respell|STIKS}}; {{Langx|grc|Στύξ|Stýx|label=none}}) or '''Gorgyra''' ({{IPAc-en||ɡ|ɔːr|ˈ|dʒ|aɪ|r|ə}} {{respell|gor|JY|rə}}; {{Langx|grc|Γόργυρα|Górgȳra|label=none}}, from {{Langx|grc|γόργυρα|górgȳra|underground drain|label=none}}).<ref>Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA287 p. 287].</ref> With [[Acheron]], she mothered [[Ascalaphus (son of Acheron)|Ascalaphus]].<ref>Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA287 p. 287]; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.5.3 1.5.3]; [[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi006.perseus-eng1:5.487-5.571 5.539&ndash;41].</ref>
