Greek Mythology
In Greek Mythology Helius was classifided as the Titan of The Sun Greek Myths show us that they believed there were gods for everything that ruled the Heaves, The Earth, The Sea and the Underworld Helios was also classified as the Titan of light. The Greeks believed all elements in nature were ruled and controled by Gods or Titans. The Greeks believed that the sun was a landmark of the punishment received when Helios lost control and destroyed his fathers Chariot. Since the greeks believed that the Gods and Titans held control over everything including human affairs they worshiped them and therefore worshiped the sun as they saw it as a landmark representing Helios. When the sun set they saw it as Helios going to rest and whenever there was a storm or natural disaster they thought it was punishment from the gods It was believed that a lunar or solar eclipse was punishment for greed or selfishness and thefore lost the privelage of light
