Aether’s Family Tree

Family

• Erebus(parent),Nyx(parent),Charon(sibling),Hemera(sibling)— Consort

  Nyx and Erebus, primordial Night and Darkness, lay together and bore Aether the bright upper air, Hemera the Day, and Charon the ferryman who carries the dead across the rivers of the underworld.

• Hemera(spouse),Gaia(child),Pontus(child),Uranus(child)— Consort · Miraculous

  Hemera and Aether are the parents of Uranus, Gaia, and Pontus in Hyginus's cosmogony, where Sky, Earth, and Sea spring from Day and Bright Air.

  ⚠ This genealogy follows Hyginus's Fabulae, which differs from Hesiod's Theogony where Gaia emerges independently from Chaos and Uranus is born from Gaia alone.
