Hemera

Nix, the sister of Erebus, represented night, and was worshipped by the ancients with the greatest solemnity.

Uranus was also supposed to have been united to Nix, but only in his capacity as god of light, he being considered the source and fountain of all light, and their children were Eos, Aurora, the dawn, and Hemera, the daylight.

Nix again, on her side, was also doubly united, having been married, at some indefinite period, to Erebus.

In addition to those children of heaven and earth already enumerated, Uranus and Gaia produced two distinctly different races of beings, called giants and titans.

And Earth first bore starry Heaven, equal to herself, to cover her on every side, and to be an ever-sure abiding-place for the blessed gods." Nyx came before the Titans, before Olympus, and before the world had form or structure, and was born alongside Erebus, her dark counterpart and the personification of darkness.

From the union between Nyx and Erebus came two children: a son, Aether, the personification of the bright upper atmosphere; and a daughter, Hemera, the personification of day, incarnating the dichotomy of day and night.

According to Hesiod, Nyx lives in a remote dwelling at the edge of creation, near the gates of Tartarus, that deepest, most inaccessible chasm beneath the Earth, with her daughter, Hemera.

Her house is shrouded in cloud and black mist, and it's here that Day, Hemera, and Night, Nyx, meet, not together, but in passing.

"Where Night and Day draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze." It's an elegant metaphor.

When night departs, day arrives, and when day ends, night returns.

One goes in, one comes out, and the house never holds them both inside.

Always there is one of them outside the house, ranging the Earth, while the other waits inside until the time comes for her to go.
