HELIOS - APOLLO ANCIENT SUN
GOD
Helios was the personification
of the Sun in Greek mythology. Homer often calls
him Titan or Hyperion,
while Hesiod (Theogony 371) and the Homeric
Hymn separate him as a son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia (Hesiod)
or Euryphaessa (Homeric Hymn) and brother of the
goddesses Selene, the moon, and Eos, the dawn. Ovid also
calls him Titan. Helios was described as a handsome god 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
(Helios was a Titan, whereas Apollo was an Olympian). The equivalent
of Helios in Roman mythology was Sol, specifically Sol
Invictus. The Helios sun-god coin pendant originates from the islands off
Caria, Rhodes. Circa 230-205 BC. AR Tetradrachm. The pendant is crafted
with extra care in 925 Sterling Silver. It 's Handmade in Greece, the diameter
