Updated August 15, However, he had to compete for this against Poseidon , god of the sea.
The competition between Helios and Poseidon for the sacrifices of Corinth was so fierce and violent that Briareus, the mediator, decided that the acropolis of the city of Corinth would be given to Helios and the Isthmus would be for Poseidon.
He would search for assurances that Helios was his father and nothing his mother could say would reassure him. So Phaethon confronted Helios, seeking the assurance he needed. So, he put Phaethon in charge of his chariot. When it flew too close to the ground, it scorched the earth and when it flew too high, it caused some regions of the earth to freeze. Zeus saw what was happening and decided he had to intervene or the world would be destroyed.
He sent a thunderbolt, which killed Phaethon. Helios was devastated and blamed himself for what had happened. It took a great deal of cajoling from the gods to make him remount his chariot and continue his daily journey across the skies. Many people think that Apollo and Helios are the same god, however, this is a common misconception. The two gods are two different beings, with distinct origins who eventually becme conflated. Helios was a Titan god and the personification of the sun, while Apollo was one of the Twelve Olympian deities and god of several domains including light, music, arts, archery, healing and poetry.
Helios was directly connected with the sun and controlled it with his golden chariot. He rode the chariot daily from east to west, bringing the sun and daylight with it.
