Helios- Bright One.
Mythology: Helios is the God of the Sun, in Greek mythology. As the god of the Sun, Helios was thought to ride a chariot drawn by horses through the sky, bringing light to the earth. The journey of the Sun, naturally, began in the East and ended in the West, at which point Helios completed his daily rounds and floated back to his Eastern palace in a golden bowl. The flying Chariot drawn by horses is perhaps where Naoko got the idea to make Helios into Pegasus.
Helios was the son of two Titans - Theia and Hyperion. In Hesiod's Theogony, Helios was also the brother of Eos (the Goddess of Dawn) and Selene (the Goddess of the Moon). Eos began the procession of morning, followed closely by her brother Helios.
When the gods were dividing the world among themselves, Helios wasn't present. He complained about this to Zeus, and was given an island which was just beginning to emerge from the waves. He named it Rhodes, after the Nymph Rhodus whom he loved.
As the God of the Sun, Helios saw everything and knew everything. Helios then became sort of a spy. Nobody could hide anything from him. He told Demeter about the abduction of her daughter, and revealed to Hephaestus Aphrodite's unfaithfulness.
Helios was known as Sol in Roman mythology. This is probably the root of the french word "Soleil," meaning Sun.
