Hemera (Ἡμερα) was the goddess of the day and daughter of Nyx(goddess of the night)andErebos(god of darkness) in Greek mythology. At the conclusion of everyday Nyx and Erebus would emerge from Tartarus and into the ‘Garden of the Hesperides’whereAtlas would hold up the sky. Hand in hand they would stand at the edge of the mountain and pull veils of darkness across the sky. They’d then cover up the sun and send dreams to sleeping mortals. When they finished they would pass by their daughter and her lover Aether(god of light) on the way back to Tartarus. Together the two gods would then bring daytime back to the world. Hemera would chase the darkness from the sky as Aether cast light down on to earth. Later on in a few Greek myths she gets replaced by Eos(goddess of the dawn).
