Can you drop the lore on Nyx, Anaideia, and Ares?

Ok so it is never said that Anaideia is Ares' daughter in Greek mythology, but. She is partially a war God and Nyx's daughter, so I am making unnecessary connections.

But basically, Ares when he was 17-ish in human years was kind of pursuing Nyx, because he was too young and stupid to see the danger that Nyx is, by offering her WAY too many offerings and seeking her in the Underworld.

But he rarely actually went outside at night, because Hera always insisted that he stays in his room, and then his own home, at night, of fear that Nyx will do something to him.

One night he didn't tho, laying in the field after a long day of training. He didn't fall asleep, he rarely sleeps, but he was tired and therefore weaker than usual. That is when Nyx actually saw him, and quite liked how he looked, so she came down to him.

Then many months later she came down to him again, left a baby, Anaideia, for him to raise alone, and left.

Because Ares was still young while raising Anaideia, they are not as close as Ares with his other kids, but they still love each other and spend time sometimes.

Something similar with her and Nyx, but they are even less close.

Daemones Spirits: Overview Part 1

Daemones are also known as Spirit Personifications. There are two kinds of Daemones, agathodaimon and kakodaimon, noble spirits and malevolent spirits, respectively. However, modern scholars and theologists have separated all of the daemones into seven broad categories:

1. Emotions and states of mind, e.g. Love and Hate, Desire, Affection, Anger, Harmony and Discord, Joy and Grief, Laughter, Hope and Fear, Indignation, and Delusion.

2. The human condition, e.g. Birth and Death, Sleep and Dreams, Pleasure and Pain, Youth and Old Age, Wealth and Poverty, Hunger and Disease, Ease and Toil, Fate and Opportunity

3. Qualities, e.g. Strength, Beauty, Grace, Wisdom, and Stupidity

4. Morality, e.g. Valor, Modesty, Moderation, Hubris, Mercy, Truth, Lies, Impiety, Justice, Oath, Respect, and Insolence

5. Voice, e.g. Eloquence, Persuasion, Criticism, Lies, Quarrels, Prayer, Counsel, Curse, Lament, Rumor, Message, Fame, Battle-Cry

6. Actions, e.g. Force, Rivalry, Victory, Labor, Contest, Fighting, Murder

7. State of society, e.g. Peace and War, Good-Governance, Law and Lawlessness, Justice and Injustice

This is part one of a fairly complete list of Daemones referenced in Greek mythology and theology, separated into each of the seven modern categories as best as I can do (I could not find a list where they were separated out, but I feel like it would be helpful if they were, so). Some of the Daemones overlap categories, so it looks like there are repeats.
