The bright upper air, born when Nyx joined with Erebus — light emerging from the union of Night and Darkness.1
I
From Chaos came Erebus and black Night; Night then conceived by Erebus and bore Aether and Day. Hesiod makes brightness and daylight the first children of the two primeval darknesses.2⚖
II
Hyginus rearranges the first family. Night, Day, Erebus and Aether all arise together from Chaos and Caligo, or Mist; Aether and Day then become parents of Earth, Heaven and Sea.3⚖
