'''Aether''' (also Æthere, Greek: Αἰθήρ), in [[Greek]] [[mythology]], is one of the Protogenoi, the first-born elemental [[gods]]. He is the [[personification]] of the upper sky, [[space]], and [[heaven]], and is the elemental god of the "Bright, Glowing, Upper Air." He is the pure upper air that the gods [[breathe]], as [[opposed]] to the [[normal]] air (Ἀήρ, aer) [[mortals]] [[breathe]].
