For other uses of Dagr and Dagur, see Dagr (disambiguation).
Dagr ("day", modern Scandinavian: Dag, modern Icelandic: Dagur) was, in Norse mythology, the god of the daytime, a son of Delling (god of twilight) and Nótt. Dagr, the Bright and the Fair, drove across the sky in a chariot every day, pulled by a horse named Skinfaxi. Skinfaxi\'s mane lights up the earth and sky. Nótt\'s equivalent horse, Hrimfaxi, lights up the night.
