Prissy,
"Helios, in ancient Greek religion, is the sun god—he travels across the sky every day, riding in a golden chariot drawn by a team of four, winged steeds. ... Helios was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and the god of the sun, whose sisters were Selene and Eos. Apollo was god of light, and son of Zeus and Leto, and brother of Artemis." 😉

PersnicketyUncle7425, Per Wikipedia Apollo and Helios is the same person. His full name and Greek GOD of the sun Apollo Helios. His sibling Artemis is the Greek GOD of the moon. Before this question I had the same basic question but the answer was Helios so when Helios wasn't in this list, I looked it up. Shady Shady question, definitely tricked me. 😠😠😠😠

Prissy, Helios was technically a Titan and Apollo was a god. They are different generations of the immortal beings.

Seth is an Egyptian God, if I remember clearly.

nimblemoon, it seems sometimes you see the answer and press it then you re-read the question and wonder how, cause you don't know why.

TurboWolf44, the previous question was who was the Greek sun god and the correct answer was Helios, this game is getting on my nerves.

I recall in the original Star Trek episode, “Who Mourns for Adonias?” the expert for classical Greek history gave almost word for word the same description. 😉🖖

abobo, because they are recognised as myths. And people don't kill each other over them anymore.

It's generally accepted nowadays to say that Apollo took Helios's title as god of the sun. Helios was the titan who represented the sun. But when the titans where beat Apollo took over. So the Greek GOD of the sun is Apollo because Helios is a titan.

humbeldywump,
The planets are named after the gods, but do not have any actual connection

Prissy, Wikipedia is clearly a bad source of info Helios it much different then Apollo, Apollo is the god of light, music, poems, and plagues (though he was the father of the worlds greatest doctor) Helios drives the sun across the sky which is a job that Apollo latter takes

Tricky question indeed! I was surprised to not find Helios on the list, knowing it from the discovery of helium being made
from our sun via spectral analysis. But I guessed correctly anyways.
