Sun Gods Compared

Helios, Apollo, Sol and Ra are the sun gods people compare, and the texts say only three of them are the sun. Helios is the all-seeing Titan's son who drives the chariot; Apollo in Homer and the Hymns is the archer of Delos and Delphi, not the sun; Sol is Helios in Latin, whom Ovid also calls Phoebus; Ra is the self-created king of the gods who crosses the underworld each night.
