“In ancient Greek religion and mythology, my name is Helios (/ˈhiːliəs, -ɒs/; Ancient Greek: Ἥλιος pronounced [hɛ̌ːlios], lit. 'Sun'; Homeric Greek: Ἠέλιος), I’m the god who personifies the Sun. My name is also Latinized as Helius, and I’m often given the epithets Hyperion ("the one above") and Phaethon ("the shining"). I’m often depicted in art with a radiant crown and driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky. I was a guardian of oaths and I’m also the god of sight. Though I was a relatively minor deity in Classical Greece, my worship grew more prominent in late antiquity thanks to my identification with several major solar divinities of the Roman period, particularly Apollo and Sol. The Roman Emperor Julian made me the central divinity of my short-lived revival of traditional Roman religious practices in the 4th century AD.”
