Nótt is the representation of night in Norse mythology. Nótt is described as the daughter of a character by the moniker of Nörvi and is affiliated with the horse Hrímfaxi in both the Poetic Edda, assembled in the 13th century from earlier conventional records, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century. The Prose Edda also includes details about lineage of Nótt, which include her three marriages. Even though some document versions mention Jörð as wife of Dellingr and mother of Dagr instead, the third marriage of Nótt was to the deity Dellingr, and their son Dagr, the personification of day, was the outcome. The word Nótt emerges in Old Norse literature as a proper noun. In both the Prose and Poetic Edda, Nótt is personified. Nótt is the daughter of a Jötunn from Jötunheimr by the designation of Norfi or Narfi, according to the exalted figure of High in chapter 10 of the Prose Edda. Nótt, who is characterised as Dark and Swarthy, has been married three times. Her first marriage to Naglfari resulted in the birth of a son named Auðr. The consequence of second marriage of Nótt to Annar was their daughter Jörð, who represents the earth. Finally, Nótt marries the god Dellingr, and the couple has a son named Dagr who is brilliant and fair like his People of His Father. Odin placed Nótt and her son Dagr into the sky with a chariot and a horse each, and they travel around the world every 24 hours. Nótt comes before Dagr, and foam from her horse bit of Hrímfaxi sprays the earth!
