I don't really know what your trying to ask, but I'll try to answer it. Apollo is the light god, as far as I know. They aren't the same thing, or representation. Apollo was allowed to drive Helios's chariot, but he didn't own it. Apollo also represented different things-such as art, dance, music, a little Archery etc.- while Helios was solely the sun god (or Titan, whatever). Helios was 'driving' the sun, and Apollo was, I don't know, being musical, or something. How the two were connected is a question for Google.

Did Apollo replace Helios and what happened to Helios if he did?

In Greek mythology, Apollo did not replace Helios; they were separate deities. Apollo was the god of the sun, light, music, and poetry, while Helios was specifically the personification of the sun itself. Helios continued to drive his chariot across the sky, representing the sun, while Apollo had a broader range of associations.

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.

Why did Helios give up his job as sun god?

Helios didnt gave up his status as the sun-god, he was overshadowed (nice pun!) by the god Apollo, though in Homers epics, Apollo is clearly identified as a different god, with no solar feautures. During the classical period Apollo gain many of the features of Helios but during roman times the sun-god Sol was closer to Helios than Apollo.
