Was the sun god Helios or Apollo in Greek mythology?
technically speaking both Apollo and Helios were sun gods. Helios was one of the titans who were overthrown by Zeus (Jupiter), the son of Saturn (a titan himself). the best known story concerning Helios is about his son phaeton who stole his father's chariot and drove it into the sun. in contrast, Apollo is the son of Zeus and leto and thus a totally different individual.

Is Helios Apollo?
No, Helios was the Titan sun patron. After the god versus titan war, Apollo took Helios's position as Artemis took Selene's.
Is Helios another name for Apollo?
No, Helios is NOT another name for Apollo. I have learned that Apollo was thought to be the sun god after a play was preformed (that failed to mentioned Helios). Helios is a Titan, and some confusion is understandable because you may think,"Oh, people say that Apollo is the sun god, and Helios is a Titan." Well, don't get full of yourself, that's not true. I hope that answered your question, enough.
Was Apollo the only sun god?
No. The Greeks had two sun gods, Apollo, who drew his power from the sun, and Helios, who drove the sun chariot. The Romans downsized to Apollo only.
