![]() ![]() In the book The House of Hades, from the Heroes of Olympus saga, written by Rick Riordan, Heméra is mentioned as a daughter by Nix. It has also always been associated with the god Apollo and could even be considered as "brothers at heart", since Apollo is considered a morning solar deity. According to mythology, Hemera and the other Greek goddesses consisted of 3 major dynasties from different generations: The First Generation of Ancient. Interestingly so, Nyx was able to create her own dark spirits including Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife, and Pain. Nyx brought the dark veil over the night, while Hemera chased the dark mists away each morning. She is the goddess of the daytime and, according to Hesiod, the daughter of Erebus and Nyx (the goddess of night). Nyx and Erebus produced Hemera (Day) and Aether (Light). Heméra has great beauty, not as great as Aphrodite's, but enough to be considered also a goddess of persuasion and lies, who through cunning can manipulate mortals as well as other gods with some ease. In Greek mythology Hemera (/hmr/ Ancient Greek: hmra 'day') was the personification of day and one of the Greek primordial deities. As Hesiod says, "the palace is never closed with both". When Nix returns to the palace, he greets his daughter and gives her permission to go out with Hélio and the Hespérides to light the land until late afternoon, and the cycle begins again. When Heméra leaves, the mother waits until it is time for her daughter to return, in turn, to greet her and go out to cast the mantle of night over the world. Behind the wall, a grand palace rises imposing where both reside, but are never seen together. There, a great wall separates the gates of hell from the visible world. ![]() According to Hesiod, Hemera lives with his mother, Nyx, beyond the Ocean, in the far west. ![]()
