Hemera (Day, Daylight) Greek The daughter of Nyx (Night) and Erebus (Darkness); sister of Ether (Air). Mother and daughter lived in the same dwelling. At sunset, Hemera met her mother in the distant West, the realm of Atlas, where that god held up the Earth. There they exchanged places, Hemera entering the home they lived in and Nyx spreading her darkness over the world. At dawn they traded places once again.
