Because it was said that he had no darkness within him, which is not entirely true as there are many stories where he is cruel. Another reason may be that he is often called Phoebus, and the god of the sun, although accurately the god of the sun is Helios, son of the titan Hyperion. It could also be because his sister, Diana, is goddess of the moon Phoebe and Selene, although neither name was truly hers.
