Helios mean "sun" and Helios is the Greek Titan God of the Sun.
This was a warning given to him to shun the island of Helios in order to avoid incurring the sun god's wrath. As Helios's (the sun's) gaze reaches everywhere, nothing they did would go undetected. 'Helios the sun-god, who sees all things and hears all things.' When the crew of Odysseus, who were hungry, slaughtered and ate the cattle they found on the island and so incurred the wrath of Helios, Zeus hit them with a bolt of lightning and destroyed them.
