![]() They promised to Odysseus that they would never touch the sacred cattle of Helios, knowing they still have provisions on their ship. It is said in the story that Odysseus, considering the warnings of Teiresias and Circe, wanted to skip the island but was out-voted by his crew who wanted to rest, exhausted from their journey. It was also the island where his sacred cattle lived and it is where Odysseus and his men came on their journey. It is said that he once consorted with an Oceanid Clymene who then gave birth to seven daughters, Aegle, Aetherie, Dioxippe, Helie, Lamperia, Merope and Phoebe. It was the island, sacred to Helios, where his daughters Heliades lived. ![]() One of the two home islands of the god was Thrinacia. It is said in Ovid's Metamorphoses that names of these horses were Aethon, Pyrois, Phlegon and Eous. He was often described riding his famous golden chariot that was drawn by four horses, which he occasionally borrowed to his relatives. Helios was also used, like his sisters Eos and Selene and also his uncle Oceanus, for describing the movements of the stars, measuring days and seasons but was also personalised whenever it suited the authors. ![]() As for Homer, Helios and Hyperion is one and the same character, he is using both names for the same character in the Iliad and the Odyssey. In Ovid's Fasti, it is said that sun sprang soon after Chaos and that would put him in the older generation before Titans. Usually, he is described as a son of Hyperion and Theia, but some authors are equating sun to Apollo. According to some authors, he was worshiped and admired at the same scale as Zeus because he is a life bringer with his beams of light. Helios (Helius, Sol, Sun) was a titan god of the sun and sunlight and was described as the One who watches from above and sees and observes anyone or anything if he wishes, not just on earth but in heavens also. The Surge protection is triggered at 15 amps, however it can be reset meaning the mains block is able to be used again.Helios Helios, god of the sun and sunlight Our mechanical design not only allows for clean and resistant free current delivery but is also silent. The issue with electronic or PCB boards being included is they create noise which has a drastic negative effect on sonic performance. Most importantly the surge protection in the Helios block is mechanical, not electronic via PCB boards. Through increased R&D we have found solutions that eliminate these problems making the option to add this feature a possibility. One for the reasons we have never incorporated this into any of our products before is that it has several issues, which creates negative effects on the sonic performance of the block. One of the key features, and one of the hardest aspects in the Helios’s blocks design was the incorporation of surge protection. The feet are created from materials which can also be found in bulletproof jackets. ![]() As the name would suggest, the Helios uses the same cable found in the helios mains cable, making it ideal thanks to its high current delivery. With the Helios block we began from scratch, with the ambition for us to use much of the technology found in the Eros block, but at a more affordable price tag. The Helios block is a new addition to the Titan Audio range.
