Helios was described as a handsome young man 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.
Helios era imaxinado como un fermoso deus coroado coa brillante auréola do sol, que conducía un carro polo ceo cada día ata o Océano que circundaba a terra e regresaba por este cara o leste pola noite.
