Sol

The Roman sun-god. In Ovid's Phaethon story he is "the Sun" and "Phoebus", enthroned in a jewelled palace among the Hours and Seasons, who swears by the Styx, lends his son the chariot Vulcan made, and darkens the world in grief; in Virgil he is the first witness of Aeneas's oath. The Roman counterpart of the Greek Helios.
