ἡλίῳ
hḗlios
sun
The sun—the celestial body that is the center of the solar system and the primary source of light and heat for the earth. By extension, ἥλιος can refer to sunlight or daylight, and, in some contexts, may designate the east as the direction of sunrise. The term may also be used in broader poetic or cosmic senses to represent brilliance or prominence, but remains fundamentally tied to the physical sun and its light.
