Erotic Mythology 🌈It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️
Last night was the longest night of the year in Greece, so #Helios had his shortest work day.
"At the winter solstice, the sun would seem to be a little child like that which the Egyptians bring forth from a shrine on the appointed day, since the day is then at its shortest and the god is accordingly shown as a tiny infant."
Macrobius, #Saturnalia
