I am not completely in the Dark when it comes to Sun Worship.

The Sun is the Light unto the World, the World of Reality as it exists in the
Light of Day, Reality that is readily apparent, measurable as to location and or
momentum is Time and or Space, Reality as it exists independent of our Ideas,
conjecture, speculation, Theory, concerning it; the Knowledge of said Reality as
sensed by the Flesh Body, Empirical Knowledge, is Absolutely Good Knowledge.

When the Day was separated from the Night a Second Great Light was separated out
from in between Night and Day, said second Great Light being Twice Light, Twice
Light being some what Dark in nature;

1. the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon,
either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to nightfall.
2. the period in the morning or, more commonly, in the evening during which this
light prevails.

Twice Light being a state or condition in which uncertainty, vagueness, or
gloom, prevails.

I have to apologize. I just answered the question without knowing the answer.

Helios

I've read that the Pythagoreans would pray to the sun three times a day. Does
any record of this prayer survive and was the pray made to Helios or Apollo?
