Myth
Its main role is that of revealing of all that occurs on Earth. In the Odyssey , it is him which reveals with Héphaïstos the guilty loves of Arès and Aphrodite ( Od. , VIII, 270-271). According to the Homeric Anthem dedicated to Déméter, it is also him which learns with the goddess that Hadès removed his/her daughter Perséphone. Anthem qualifies it of “observer divine of Gods and of men”, while Homère names it “that which sees and hears all things”, Od. , XI, 109). He is venerated in all the Peloponnese and with Rhodos.
the Odyssey also tells that it has ox herds and sheep in the island of Trinacrie (the Sicily). Ulysses accosts there at the time of its return towards Ithaque. Duly chapter on this subject with song XI by the soothsayer Tirésias, it prohibits its men from touching with the crowned herds. Whereas he sleeps, however, its famished men cut down cows. Photogravure claims revenge near Zeus which strikes down the ship of Ulysses, the saver alone with the passage.
Its descent is numerous. Homère quotes Lampétie and Phaéthuse, conceived with the nymph Néère: it is they which keep the herds of their father. Hespéride Églé, it has also the Charites. Persian Océanide , it has Éétès, king of Colchide, Persès, king of Tauride, Augias, king of Élide, Circé and Pasiphaé. Océanide Clymène, it has Phaéton and the Héliades. He is also the father of the seven heroes founders of Rhodos.
Photogravure is easily recognizable by the rays solar emanating from its head. It is often represented on its Quadrige.
The Greeks carried a large respect to this divinity, who could according to them have ceased rising if it were not precisely honoured. Moreover, because the Sun sees all which occurs on the Earth, he had been frequently called upon in the solemn oaths: “I swear some by Hélios” meant: “it is true, the Sun can testify some”.
With the wire of time, Hélios was confused with another named solar divinity Apollon or Phébus, god of solar light, the divination, the music and poetry. The principal place of worship of Photogravure is Rhodos while Apollon is especially venerated in Delphes. Although Phaéton is the son of Photogravure, Ovide uses the name Phébus when he speaks about this last, this name meaning “the Luminous one”.
In the Roman Mythology, Hélios corresponds to Sol.
