It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday!

"The water bride-groom [#Okeanos] begat #Klymene, fairest of the Naiads, whom #Tethys nursed on her wet breast, her youngest, a maiden with lovely arms. For her beauty Helios pined, who travels the sevenzone circuit [the zodiac] garland-wise. Helios dispenser of fire was afflicted with another fire!"
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 38.108

"While we were able to collect the '#GoldenOrb' and bring it onto the ship, we still are not able to identify it beyond the fact that it is #biological in origin...
