 In both sources, Dagr is stated to be the son of the god Dellingr and is associated with the bright-maned horse Skinfaxi, who "draw[s] day to mankind".Depending on manuscript variation, the "Prose Edda" adds that Dagr is either Dellingr's son by Nótt, the personified night, or Jörð, the personified Earth.Otherwise, Dagr appears as a common noun simply meaning "day" throughout Old Norse works.
