Aether

Aether, or Ether, Acmon, was a Greek primordial god.
==Abode==
Aether was the primordial god of the bright upper air and the substance of light. He personified the air that only the gods breathed.
==Mythology==
===Damascius===
According to Damascius, Aether was a son of Chronus, along with Erebus and Chaos.
===Epiphanius===
Epiphanus states that Chronus and Anance were serpentine gods that wrapped around the primeval world egg. They wrapped around the egg until they cracked it and the atoms sorted themselves out into the world. The lighter and finer atoms floated up and became Aether and the heavier and dirtier atoms became Gaea, the earth, and the ocean.
===Day and Night===
At dusk, Nyx would leave her home in Tartarus and she would draw the mists of Erebus across the sky in order to block out the light of Aether and to bring night upon the world. When Nyx returned to her home, Hemera, her daughter, would leave the house that they shared. Hemera would then scatter the mists and the light of Aether would again shine down upon the world, bringing back the day.
