Helios, in Greek mythology, is the god of the sun and is often depicted as driving a chariot across the sky, bringing light to the world. He is a significant figure in the pantheon of Greek deities, and his name is derived from the Greek word for sun, "Helios." According to myth, Helios is the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, making him a second-generation Titan. His siblings include Selene, the goddess of the moon, and Eos, the goddess of the dawn. Helios is often described as a handsome and radiant god, with a crown of sun rays adorning his head. One of the most well-known stories involving Helios is the tale of his son Phaeton. In this myth, Phaeton, eager to prove his divine lineage, persuades his father to let him drive the sun chariot for a day. However, Phaeton is unable to control the powerful horses that pull the chariot, and chaos ensues. The earth is scorched, and to prevent further disaster, Zeus strikes Phaeton down with a lightning bolt. Helios is left grief-stricken by the loss of his son. Helios is also associated with the island of Rhodes, where he was particularly revered. The Colossus of Rhodes...Category

- Castellani Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio Gold RingBy CastellaniLocated in New York, NYCastellani® has selected this Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio for the "Cleopatra" Ring Setting. The intaglio dates to the 3rd to 7th Century. The intaglio is both black and white agate, which is a hard stone and very good for carving. The agate has two layers of color, black on the top and white at the bottom. The agate intaglio is solid and is one piece. The carver was able to use these two color layers to give dimension and detail. The Column and Angel on the left wings are white and the balance is all black. The Carver knew the material he/she was carving and used this to create this very unique scene. The intaglio shows two angels standing on either side of a column/pillar looking at the bust of a man on top of the pillar. The angels are female and male. The bust on the pedestal is of a male. The intaglio is set below the frame. The frame flairs out to a subtle point on the sides and has a flat surface.
