Aether

Aether (ay-thur or ee-thur), or Acmon (ahk-mon), was a Greek primordial god.

Abode and Attributes
Aether was the primeval god of the upper air, the air that was only breathed by immortal deities. He was also described as being the substance of light.

Mythology
At dusk, Nyx would draw the mists of Erebus across Aether to block out his light and to bring night upon the world. At dawn, Hemera would scatter these mists and bring back the day to the world.
