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

"While in the first forming of the world the island was still like mud and soft, the sun dried up the larger part of its wetness and filled the land with living creatures. [...] In consequence of these events the island [Rhodes] was considered to be sacred to Helios."

Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 5.56.3
