Philostratus the Elder uses their names interchangeably when describing a painting of the funeral of the Ethiopian king Memnon-also the son of Eos. In some cases, the two goddesses were interchangeable. Given their similarities, some ancient texts closely associated Hemera with Eos, the goddess of the dawn.
Yet another claimed Uranus as their only child. According to one version Hemera and Aether bore the Titans Gaia (Earth), Uranus (Sky) and Thalassa (Sea), while another version cited only Thalassa as the child of Hemera and Aether.
Sources differ, however, when it comes to their children. In all ancient sources, Hemera was paired with Aether (Light), both her brother and consort. Hesiod described them drawing near and passing one another, one entering a house while the other departed to pass over the earth, the house never holding them both inside. They moved in counterpoint to one another, Nyx retreating from the sky as Hemera appeared.
Whether daughter or sister, Hemera was always closely linked with Nyx, their heavenly movements used to explain the cycle of day into night to the ancients. Another version by Hyginus stated that Hemera emerged from Chaos alongside Nyx, making her Hemera’s sister, not mother. The poet Bacchylides, on the other hand, named Nyx as Hemera’s mother, but Chronos-the primordial god of time-as her father. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, the narrative detailing the genealogy of the gods, She was the daughter of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness), two primordial deities born from Chaos, the void or chasm before creation. Three different versions of her family tree exist in ancient writings. She was listed among the first gods, the generations before the Titans and Olympians.
