I am confused with Apollo and Helios as the sun-god.
During the rape of Persephone it is said that the Sun-god Helios saw Hades abducting Persephone.
Also, another account tells us this : "Clytie, who was either a water nymph or a princess of the ancient city of Babylon*, fell in love with Apollo, god of the sun. For a time the god returned her love, but then he tired of her. The forlorn Clytie sat, day after day, slowly turning her head to watch Apollo move across the sky in his sun chariot. Eventually, the gods took pity on her and turned her into a flower. In some versions of the myth, she became a heliotrope or a marigold, but most accounts say that Clytie became a sunflower" (mythencyclopedia.com)
Apollo, the Sun God is truly a divine charmer. He is known for his love of beauty and is also known as the God of Poetry and Music. (buzzle.com)
would it be possible to have 2 sun-gods? :|
