HELIOS

In Greek mythology, Helios was the god of the sun (the Roman Sol), son of the Titan Hyperion and Theia, and brother of Eos and Selene. He was said to dwell with Eos in the ocean behind Colchis, from which he issued in the morning and to which he returned at night. He later began to be identified with Apollo, but the identification was never complete. His worship was widely spread, and he had temples in Corinth, Argos, Troezen and Elis, but particularly in Rhodes, the Colossus of which was a representation of Helios. The island of Trinacria was also sacred to Helios, and here his daughters, Phoetusa and Lampetia, kept his flocks of sheep and oxen. It was customary to offer up white lambs or boars on his altars. The animals sacred to him were horses, wolves, cocks and eagles.

TITHONUS

In Greek mythology, Tithonus was a son or brother of Laomedon the king of Troy by a river nymph. He was made immortal by Zeus at the request of the goddess Eos who loved him and he had by her the hero Memnon.. However, she neglected to ask that Tithonus be given the gift of eternal youth, so that he withered away in an ever increasing decrepitude. Eventually, he begged Eos to revoke her gift, and the goddess changed him into a grasshopper. The name Tithonus thus became proverbial for a decrepit old man.
