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 !!! [ Ήλιος Πανόπτης / Helios Panoptes ]

if I had a nickel for everytime a greek myth featured a father warning his son not to pursue dangerous activities related to the sun but the son doesn’t listen and then plummets through the heavens to his untimely and tragic death, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
