Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

Ĕrĕbus, i, m., = Ἔρεβος.

    1. A. The god of darkness, son of Chaos, and brother of Nox, Cic. N. D. 3, 17 fin.; Hyg. Myth. praef.; Verg. A. 4, 510; Ov. M. 14, 404.

      Hence,
