Upsetting Nyx

Eteocles - Suppose we fall on them by night from ambush?
Creon - Yes, if in the event of defeat you can return safely here.
Eteocles - Night equalizes risks, though it rather favors daring.
Creon -The darkness of night is a terrible time to suffer disaster.
Eteocles - Well, shall I attack them as they sit at dinner?
(Euripides, Phoenician Women 725).
