Greetings
How is the Goddess of the Day, Hemera viewed within Orphism? Is She a personal or an impersonal deity?

Many thanks

Hemera is just a personification of the day, she doesn't really factor much into Orphism, and she has no Orphic Hymn, though Eos does.

So, just for the sake of this discussion, would it be safe to assume that Hemera is a kind of "pre-form" of Eos?
