These deities or gods presided over the elements of sky, light, and heavens.
They are related to the periods of the day and night, the winds, clouds, stars, and planets. Sky deities are also associated with air, rain, snow, and rainbows.
Aeolus (Aiolos) - God and ruler of the winds. He was encountered by Odysseus and his crew in the Odyssey. They spent about a month on his island and became friends with the god. When they departed, Aeolus trapped all the other winds except the one which would lead them to Ithaca. He trapped them inside the box and gave it to Odysseus and told him to not open it.
Aether - primeval god of the upper air. He was one of the first-born gods who personified the pure-bright upper air, below Uranus (heaven), that only gods could breathe.
Arce - messenger of the Titans and the twin sister of Iris. She took sides with the Titans and was, after the war, stripped of her wings by Zeus and sent to Tartarus.

They were mentioned as the daughters of Atlas or sometimes the daughters of the primeval goddess Nyx.

The Hesperides also featured in the Eleventh labor of Heracles, where the hero had to obtain the golden apples.

The Nephelai also supported the earth deities and their rivers, springs, and other freshwater brothers and sisters by pouring the rains upon them.

They were protected by Zeus who placed them among stars, known as the constellation Pleiades.
Selene - goddess of the moon. She was the daughter of Hyperion and Theia and had a brother Helios and a sister Eos. Her great love was a mortal man called Endymion who was granted immortality and eternal youth by Zeus and was placed in a state of eternal slumber near Mount Latmos, where his bride came every night to consort with him.
Uranus - primeval god of the heavens and sky. He was the son and consort of Gaea and from their union came the twelve Titans, three Cyclopes, and three Hekatoncheires. Uranus was also responsible for the birth of the Erinyes, Giants, Meliae, and Aphrodite when his blood was spilled upon the earth.
