AETHERAlso known as ETHER, AITHER
Illuminated God of the Upper Atmosphere
The son of EREBUS and NYX, he looks after the air the Gods breathe. Not the polluted old rubbish we have to put up with down on Earth; this is the Supergrade 5 Godstar variety. Very invigorating.
AETHER floats above AER and is illuminated with Heavenly light. He's a very bright lad, and even on the clearest day we only see the merest trace of his splendor as it filters down to us. At night his mother NYX draws the curtains and the gloom of EREBUS descends upon the world. When morning comes, his sister HEMERA wafts away the murky mists and his radiant glow is seen again.Attempts to discover traces of the aether on Earth were carried out by Michelson and Morley in a famous experiment of 1887. Did they find any? Nope. This non-result led directly to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, but dashed their hopes of selling bottled aether to the physics community.

We are often asked about merchandise. Can we supply the latest Aether graphic novel, book or comic? Not to mention role-playing games (RPG), video games, Aether movies on DVD, BluRay and so on. To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites. We offer a wide range of our own merchandise in our online GodShop, but we don't currently sell third party items. Yet!
