1。Helius and Corinth
The Corinthians tell that Poseidon had a dispute with Helius about the land about Corinth, and that Briareus, one of the HECATONCHEIRES , arbitrated between them, assigning the Isthmus to Poseidon, and the height above the city to Helius. They add that Helius later handed over the Acrocorinthus to Aphrodite; but the land of Corinth is also said to have been given by Helius to Aeetes before the latter emigrated, becoming king of Colchis.
2。Reveals secrets
His eye being everywhere, Helius is said to have been the one who reported to Hephaestus about the love affair between Ares and Aphrodite. And he also reported to Demeter what had happened to her daughter Persephone when Hades abducted her.
3。But for having revealed to Hephaestus her love for Ares, Aphrodite made Helius to fall in love with Leucothoe , daughter of Orchamus, king over the cities of Persia and the seventh in line from Belus 。
4。Assuming the shape of the girl's mother Eurynome 5, Helius came to her home, and after dismissing the slaves who were in the room, and interrupting her work with the spindle, he made love to her. However, Clytia , a former love of the god who was still in love with Helius but was scorned by him, burning with jealousy and wrath, spread the story everywhere, and informed King Orchamus about it. The king then, being ignorant of the nature of love, let his own daughter be buried alive. Indeed, using power to spread death was for him a good thing, but love he considered a shame.
However, Clytia could not get Helius and she went mad. For whole days she tasted neither food nos drink and stood on the same spot on the groud, turning her face towards the sun. Finally, her face turned into a flower much like a violet, and herself into a plant。
Gods do not suffer mortals comparing themselves with them. And Helius, who otherwise is quite mild, disliked it just as other gods do. So when Arge, a huntress who was pursuing a stag said that she would catch it even if it equalled the speed of Helius, the god, for this boast, turned her into a doe.
And when Odysseus' crew slaughtered his cattle in Thrinacia, he threatened to shine among the dead instead of shining among the immortals and the living mortals [full story at Charybdis].
