Nott - Definition and Overview

In Norse mythology, Nott was the goddess of the night, daughter of Narvi. She had three husbands and three children. First was Naglfari, with whom she gave birth to Aud; followed by Annar, the father of Earth and lastly Delling, father of Dagur. Like Dagur, Nott rode across the sky daily, in a chariot pulled by Hrimfaxi. She brings dew with her every morning.
