Helios - Gematria Term

Helios

Helios (Greek: Ἥλιος, Hēlios; Latin: Sol; Hebrew: הֵלִיּוֹס, Helios) is the god and personification of the Sun in Greek mythology. He is often depicted as a handsome, winged man or a charioteer, usually riding a chariot pulled by four horses. In Greek mythology, Helios was believed to travel across the sky each day to illuminate the world and would return to the Lycian coast in a golden cup, which was later transformed into the island of Rhodes. Helios was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and brother to the goddesses Selene (the moon) and Eos (the dawn). The Romans equated Helios with their god Sol, and in later Roman mythology, Sol was often conflated with the god Apollo. The name Helios is derived from the Greek word ἥλιος (hḗlios), meaning "sun."

Helios

Greek god and personification of the Sun

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Helios is the god who personifies the Sun. His name is also Latinized as Helius, and he is often given the epithets Hyperion and Phaethon. Helios is often depicted in art with a radiant crown and driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky. He was a guardian of oaths and also the god of sight. Though Helios was a relatively minor deity in Classical Greece, his worship grew more prominent in late antiquity thanks to his identification with several major solar divinities of the Roman period, particularly Apollo and Sol. The Roman Emperor Julian made Helios the central divinity of his short-lived revival of traditional Roman religious practices in the 4th century AD.
