Helios is
the god of the sun, one of the oldest gods and son of the Titans
Hyperion and
Theia. His sisters and brothers were
Eos (eye) and
Okeanos.
Many of his children were famous, as for example the
sorceress Kirke or
Pasiphae,
the wife of the King of Crete Minos.
Helios is
described as a beauty with gold hairs and a shining around his head.
He had a fire trailer pulled by horses along
the horizon. These god saw everything and often he was a source of
evidence for good and bad actions. He exposed a lot and gave many
information for unwitting people.
The famous giant of Rhodes
is one of the seven wonders of the world and
should describe Helios pretty well. Its legs were on every
side of the entrance of the harbor and it was so huge that all kind
of boats could pass through. They say that Helios
married Rhodes, and that's why the inhabitants of Rhodes adored him a lot.
