Momus

(Μῶμος), a son of Nyx, is a personification of mockery and censure. (Hes. Th. 214.) Thus he is said to have censured in the man formed by Hephaestus, that a little door had not been left in his breast, so as to enable one to look into his secret thoughts. (Lucian, Hermotim. 20.) Aphrodite alone was, according to him, blameless. (Philostr. Ep. 21.) [L.S]

(Μῶμος). In Greek mythology the evil spirit of blame and mockery, according to Hesiod (Theog. 214) the son of Night. According to Lucian (Hermotimus, 20), he found fault with the man formed by Hephaestus for not having little doors in his breast, so as to allow of his secret thoughts being seen. In Philostratus (Ep. 21=37) the only faults he finds in Aphrodité are that she is too talkative and that her sandals make too much noise.
