#godsschool Ο Ήλιος ☀️Helios the proud Titan/ god of the Sun who “shines upon men and deathless gods”. Each day #helios rises from his golden palace beneath the sea, crowned with the aureole of the sun, and he drives his chariot through the sky from the East to the West, providing daylight At night, his sister Selene takes her turn to cross the sky. Helios ’s daily journey is usually overlooked, but the sun god is looking down all day at gods and mortals, and he can see and hear almost everything !!!

Helios, Selene & Eos were the children of the Titans Hyperion and Theia. They were the Titan god and goddesses of the Sun, the Moon and the dawn, “who shine upon all that are on earth and upon the deathless gods who live in the wide heaven”.
Eos is heralding the breaking of the new day and her brother’s arrival. She is said to not only open the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise, but she would often accompany Helios as well on his daily swing across the skies. In the night Selene is driving her moon chariot across the heavens. While the sun chariot has four horses, Selene’s usually has two, described as “snow-white”.
Helioswas the Titan god of the sun, a guardian of oaths, and the god of sight. He dwelt in a golden palace in the River Okeanos at the far ends of the earth from which he emerged each dawn, crowned with the aureole of the sun, driving a chariot drawn by four winged horses. When he reached the the land of the Hesperides in the far West he descended into a golden cup which bore him through the northern streams of Okeanos back to his rising place in the East.
Helios was depicted as a handsome, usually beardless, man clothed in purple robes and crowned with the shining aureole of the sun.
His parents were the Titans Hyperion and Theia, who also bore his siblings Selene (Moon) and Eos (Dawn).
The Cattle of Helios, also called the Oxen of the Sun, were immortal cattle pastured on the island of Thrinacia, who were guarded by Helios’ daughters, Phaethusa and Lampetia.
Saturn’s moons Tethys and Hyperion appear to be near neighbors in this Cassini view, even though they are actually 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) apart here. Tethys is the larger body on the left.

On an unrelated note, if you go to The Cosmotographer’s homepage you can see the new design. I changed it pretty drastically so there is only one image per page, but you can use the arrow keys to navigate from one page to another so its pretty nice looking. Check it out
Reviled by critics as “a poison-‐chest of humanity,” “the helpless stammering of a profoundly sick individual with a pronounced tendency toward coprolalia,” “a yawning chasm of compost,”
Hyperion is such a pretty word and I love both space and mythology but the first thing I associate it with is high quality yellow guns and low quality robots and phrases like “I just bought a pony made of diamonds because I’m rich.” So the yellow frame of the moon is a reference. Yep. (Although I prefer Jakobs because aesssthyeeetic).
