    Ancient Greek mythology.

    The sun god in the middle is Helios.

    According to the Theogony

    Helios was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Thea, and the brother of Eos, the goddess of dawn, and Selene, the goddess of the moon. Legend has it that Helios would ride the sky every day on a chariot drawn by four fiery horses, from east to west, early in the morning and late in the evening, so that the light would shine on the world.

    In later mythology, Helios is often associated with Apollo, the god of light.

    Confused, mistakenly thinking that Apollo is the sun god, and thinking that Apollo's other name Forbos is another name for Helios, but in fact, Forbos has long merged with Apollo, and has become another name for Apollo as early as the eighth century BC, and Helios has never been completely mixed with Apollo, so there is still a difference between the two.
