Description Hemera, The daughter of Erebos and Nyx and the sister of Aether.  the goddess of the day, Day light and the life force of light that makes all things grow and bloom. The balancer of her Mother Nyx.

All reference for Hemera comes from her only known image of an archaic Lekythos. In which she has what can only be described as a massively long himation or stola on her lap, which tapers down from the sky to the earth. Sucha depiction would be ridiculous for me to portray here, Also take from the Lekythos image is what looks to be a pin, diadem or simply a flower (take your choice) sticking up from the back of her hair. Using artistic liberties, I make its a pin of sorts with a golden acanthus flower. The 4 horses on the back shield come from the same pottery image. the horses that pull her cart.
