Tears of the Sun: Helios, Phaethon, the Heliades, and Other Ancient Greek Solar Myths

A Temple Wild: Greek Mythology and the Mediterranean Landscape

Today, on the Winter Solstice, I introduce you to the Greek gods of the Sun — the Titans who gave birth to the radiance of the celestial bodies and the prophetic wisdom that the Greeks believed came from their light. We also learn about the Sun’s connection to the Underworld, grief, and mourning, and meet the plants sacred to the Sun god Helios.
