Emera/Hemera

Emera

Eméra, in greco Ἠμἐρα (Hemera), è una figura della mitologia greca, personificazione del Giorno. 

Nel mito

Si tratta di una divinità femminile, per la quale i mitografi forniscono origini diverse; secondo Esiodo, essa era nata dall'unione di Notte ed Erebo, assieme al fratello Etere, con il quale avrebbe generato una figlia, Talassa. Nella Genealogia di Igino (opera di cui si conserva solo un frammento comunemente posto come prefazione delle sue Fabulae), invece, Emera, Etere, Erebo e Notte sono fratelli tra di loro, tutti figli di Caos e Caligine. Secondo altre versioni ancora, suo padre era Elio, mentre in alcuni poemi fra i figli di Emera ed Etere figura anche Urano.

Hemera, the goddess of the daytime

Hemera

In Greek mythology Hemera (/ˈhɛmərə/; Ancient Greek: Ἡμέρα [hɛːméra] "Day") was the personification of day and one of the Greek primordial deities. She is the goddess of the daytime and, according to Hesiod, the daughter of Erebus and Nyx (the goddess of night).

Mythology

Hemera is remarked upon in Cicero's De Natura Deorum, where it is logically determined that Dies (Hemera) must be a god, if Uranus is a god. The poet Bacchylides states that Nyx and Chronos are the parents, but Hyginus in his preface to the Fabulae mentions Chaos as the mother/father and Nyx as her sister.
Hemera was the female counterpart of her brother and consort, Aether (Light), but neither of them figured actively in myth or cult. Hyginus lists their children as Uranus, Gaia, and Thalassa (the primordial sea goddess), while Hesiod only lists Thalassa as their child.
According to Hesiod's Theogony, Hemera left Tartarus just as Nyx entered it; when Hemera returned, Nyx left:

"Nyx and Hemera draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze: and while the one is about to go down into the house, the other comes out at the door."

Pausanias seems to confuse Hemera with Eos when saying that she carried Cephalus away. Pausanias makes this identification with Eos upon looking at the tiling of the royal portico in Athens, where the myth of Eos and Kephalos is illustrated. He makes this identification again at Amyklai and at Olympia, upon looking at statues and illustrations where Eos (Hemera) is present.
