Dagr
In Norse mythology, Dagr ("day", modern Scandinavian: Dag, modern Icelandic: Dagur) was the god of the daytime, a son of Delling (god of twilight), and is the brother of N?tt (goddess of night). Dagr, the Bright and the Fair, drove across the sky in a chariot every day, pulled by a horse named Skinfaxi. Skinfaxi's mane lights up the earth and sky. Nott's equivalent horse, Hrimfaxi, lights up the night. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
