Helios

Helios (; ''Hēlios''; Latinized as ''Helius''; in Homeric Greek) was the personification of the Sun in Greek mythology. He is the son of the Titan Hyperion and the Titaness Theia (Hesiod) (also known as Euryphaessa (Homeric Hymn 31)) and brother of the goddesses Selene, the moon, and Eos, the dawn.
Helios was described as a handsome titan crowned with the shining aureole of the Sun, who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day to earth-circling Oceanus and through the world-ocean returned to the East at night. In the Homeric hymn to Helios, Helios is said to drive a golden chariot drawn by steeds (''HH'' 31.14–15); and Pindar speaks of Helios's "fire-darting steeds" (''Olympian Ode'' 7.71). Still later, the horses were given fiery names: Pyrois, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon.
As time passed, Helios was increasingly identified with the god of light, Apollo. However, in spite of their syncretism, they were also often viewed as two distinct gods/titan (Helios was a Titan, whereas Apollo was an Olympian). The equivalent of Helios in Roman mythology was Sol, specifically Sol Invictus.
== Names ==
The Greek ἥλιος is the inherited word for the Sun, from Proto-Indo-European ''
*'', cognate with Latin ''sol'', Sanskrit ''surya'', Old English ''swegl'', Old Norse sól, Welsh ''haul'', etc.〔(''helios'' ). ''Online Etymology Dictionary''.〕
The female offspring of Helios were called Heliades. The Greek sun god had various bynames or epithets, which over time in some cases came to be considered separate deities associated with the Sun. Most notably, Helios is closely associated with, and sometimes consciously identified with, Apollo.
Diodorus Siculus of Sicily reported that the Chaldeans called Cronus (Saturn) by the name Helios, or the sun, and he explained that this was because Saturn was the most conspicuous of the planets.〔Noted in “epiphanestaton" — the most conspicuous (II. 30. 3-4). See also Franz Boll – Kronos-Helios, Archiv fuer Religionswissenschaft XIX (1919), p. 344.〕
Among these is Hyperion (''superus'', "high up"), ''Elektor'' (of uncertain derivation, often translated as "beaming" or "radiant"; especially in the combination ''elektor Hyperion''), Phaëton "the radiant", ''Hekatos'' (of Apollo, also ''Hekatebolos'' "far-shooter", i.e. the sun's rays considered as arrows).
