Helios

Halo over his head
He had piercing, fierce eyes
Had children, some unknown
Heralded much like Zeus,
He rode across the skies
Helios was a fierce competitor
Horae, goddess he wed.

Thanks, Jenna. LOL. I checked and I omitted a line when I was typing it into the contest. I fixed it, if it isn't too late. I notice that it had been read.
