In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/, also Erebos (Greek: Ἔρεβος, "deep darkness, shadow"),[1] was often conceived as a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos.

The Royal Navy always named their bomb vessels for associations with explosive violence. Bomb vessels were the ship type of choice for voyages of discovery in Arctic regions because they were more sturdily built than other ships and during times of peace were surplus to navy requirements.
