Eratosthenes of Cyrene writes of Orpheus in the Catasterisms: "But Orpheus paid no cult to Dionysus. He worshipped only the supreme god, Helios, under the name of Apollo, and often, rising at night, he would sit on Mount Pangaea, there to await the rising of the Sun, and greet it first with his melodious sounds." In classical literature, Helios is also sometimes equated with the god of the Olympian gods, Zeus, whose eye he is, implicitly or explicitly. 26 For example, Hesiod says that the Sun is the eye of Zeus.  This view is probably taken from Proto-Indo-European religion, in which the Sun was supposedly the eye of Dyēus Phter. or Dyaus Pataer is Brahma who is Surya with his chariot of the sun, or Brahma is Shiva who is Osiris who is Apis who is Ptah who is Atum via his tongue who is Amun and who is Nefertum the sacred lotus from which the sun blooms just like Brahma, Amun is Brahma who is Surya who is Dyaus Pater, Amun is Helios. Chariot of Helios: The solar chariot is a cosmological allegory present in several mythologies and symbolizing the course of the sun across the sky. The chariot is generally pulled by a team of horses and transports the Sun-god from east to west during the day, while it makes the opposite journey during the night.</blockquote>
