For the Greeks, it broke down like this:

Aether was the original god associated with "light" (as opposed to darkness embodied by Erebos). Day was embodied by Hemera (who was the opposite of Nyx).

Later, Hyperion was the Titan associated with Light, and he was the father of Helios (Sun) and Selene (Moon).

They were in turn supplanted by Apollo (Sun) and Artemis (Moon), with the separate concept of "light" disappearing altogether.
