  • Hemera was the protogenos of the Day. She was the daughter of Nyx and Erebus (night and darkness) and consort/sister of Aether. Her role was wholly subsumed by Eos in later myths.
  • In Greek mythology, Hemera is the primordial goddess of daytime. Hemera also appears to be half of Calliope's caduceus chat symbol, when combined with the other denizen, Nix. In [S] Act 6 Act 3, several tablets make references to Hemera, which state that she spoke prophecies, which were engraved on stone tablets and interpreted by the Amphibian Consorts' Elders and scholars interpreted her words. According to one of the tablets, "The only one alive left in the land to greet the Maid will be Hemera herself!"
  • Hemera is the Greek primordial goddess of the day. She is the daughter of Erebos and Nyx. She is the female counterpart of her brother and consort, Aether (Light), with whom she had one child: Thalassa, a Protogenos of the Sea. Her Roman aspect is Dies.
  • In Greek mythology Hemera (Greek: Ἡμέρα, "day") was the personification of day and one of the Protogenoi or primordial deities. She is the goddess of the daytime and, according to Hesiod, the daughter of Erebos and Nyx (the goddess of night). Hemera is remarked upon in Cicero's De Natura Deorum, where it is logically determined that Dies (Hemera) must be a god, if Uranus is a god. The poet Bacchylides states that Nyx and Chronos are the parents, but Hyginus in his preface to the Fabulae mentions Chaos as the mother/father and Nyx as her sister.

  • In Greek mythology Hemera (Greek: Ἡμέρα, "day") was the personification of day and one of the Protogenoi or primordial deities. She is the goddess of the daytime and, according to Hesiod, the daughter of Erebos and Nyx (the goddess of night). Hemera is remarked upon in Cicero's De Natura Deorum, where it is logically determined that Dies (Hemera) must be a god, if Uranus is a god. The poet Bacchylides states that Nyx and Chronos are the parents, but Hyginus in his preface to the Fabulae mentions Chaos as the mother/father and Nyx as her sister. Hemera was the female counterpart of her brother and consort, Aether (Light), but neither of them figured actively in myth or cult. Hyginus lists their children as Uranus, Gaia, and Thalassa (the primordial sea goddess), while Hesiod only lists Thalassa as their child. According to the Theogony, Hemera left Tartarus just as Nyx entered it; when Hemera returned, Nyx left: "Nyx and Hemera draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze: and while the one is about to go down into the house, the other comes out at the door." Pausanias seems to confuse her with Eos when saying that she carried Cephalus away. Pausanias makes this identification with Eos upon looking at the tiling of the royal portico in Athens, where the myth of Eos and Kephalos is illustrated. He makes this identification again at Amyklai and at Olympia, upon looking at statues and illustrations where Eos (Hemera) is present.
