Hyginus, at the beginning of his Fabulae, lists sixteen names, while elsewhere he gives the names of ten others.

In Hesiod's Theogony, Hemera and her brother Aether were the offspring of Erebus and Nyx. [2] Bacchylides apparently had Hemera as the daughter of Chronus (Time) and Nyx. [3] In the lost epic poem the Titanomachy (late seventh century BC?), [4] Hemera was perhaps the mother, by Aether, of Uranus (Sky). [5]
