erebus

(Other definitions for erebus that I've seen before include "Sure, be in the underworld" , "Mt. -, Antarctic volcano; be sure (anag.)" , "Level of the underworld" , "Greek god of darkness, son of Chaos" , "Dark and gloomy cavern between earth and Hades." .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
