Agamemnon swears an oath to Akhilleus (Achilles) and calls upon Zeus, Helios and the Furies to make him true to his word Agamemnon, in an attempt to apologize to Akhilleus (Achilles), wants to feast on a boar and dedicate it to Zeus and Helios Hera drove the unwilling Helios into the depths of Okeanos (Oceanus) so that the Trojans and the Argives would stop fighting As Zeus draws a golden cloud around himself and Hera, he tells her that not even Helios can see them As Menelaos (Menelaus) prepares to fight Alexandros (Paris), Agamemnon calls upon Zeus, Helios (who sees and hears all), the earth, the rivers and ‘he who dwells under the earth’ to take vengeance on anyone who does not stay true to their oath As Menelaos (Menelaos (Menelaus) prepares to fight Alexandros (Paris), he says they should sacrifice three lambs one each for Gaia (Earth), the Sun God (Helios) and Zeus Helios in The Iliad (listed by book and line) The ’events’ were common knowledge but the details were purely to product of the authors imagination. Pindar writing about Iason is similar to Shakespeare writing about Julius Caesar. The story of Iason is told in detail by Pindar (518-438) and although it’s beautiful to read, it was written one thousand years after the ’fact’.
King Aeetes was later cast as the villain who wouldn’t surrender the Golden Fleece to Iason (Jason) and the Argonauts. Hermes warned Odysseus of Kirke’s tricks, allowing him to ensnare Kirke with oaths before she could do him harm. She would lure sailors to her palace with beautiful song and, once there, she would drug them and, magically, turn them onto swine. Kirke is famous for her love of the long suffering Odysseus. The children of Helios and Perseis, daughter of Okeanos (Ocean), are said to be Kirke (Circe) and king Aeetes (Aietes).
Hephaestus promptly set a trap and humiliated the lovers in front of all the Immortals. Helios, who sees everything that his light touches, observed the lovers and told Hephaestus of the deception. In The Odyssey of Homer (book 8, line 266), a singer, Demodokos, tells the tale of how Aphrodite and Ares (the god of War) secretly laid together in the bed of her husband, Lord Hephaistos (Hephaestus). She and Hyperion were Titans of the same generation as Kronos (Cronos), and like Kronos, were the children of Gaia (Earth) and Ouranos (the Heavens). However, in Hesiod’s Theogony (line 372), the mother of Eos, Helios and Selene is listed as Theia. In the Homeric Hymn to Helios, we are told that Hyperion married his sister, Eryphaesa, and begot tireless Helios, rosy Eos (the Dawn) and fair tressed Selene (the Moon). There are conflicting accounts of the parentage of Helios (the Sun).
