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).

I hope that answered your question, enough.

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.
