Night and Day
In many mythologies is said that the Ancients didn't associate day and night with solar light. The same is by the way with the Old Testament, but I will take this book out of my consideration. Of course the Ancients saw that it was day when they saw the sun in the sky and night when he wasn't. They had the habit of using and interpreting things of higher intellectual level with symbols from the everyday life. So there is not only a day and night in our material world but also in the higher worlds. One can see life as a day which came out of a night, that means we don't see where it came from. So Day being the daughter of the Night makes more sense as the following stage of a previous one. The same with Knowledge; one is in the Dark and then slowly comes Enlightment.
