The sun in Greek. In earlier Greek Mythology, the sun was personified as a deity, driving a fiery chariot across the sky. The best known story involving Helios is that of his son Phaeton, who drove the sun chariot to his own disaster. In later mythology Apollo became the sun god.

The names of the horses were Pyrois, Eos, Aethon and Phlegon.
