Sol Invictus, unknown date
"He [Helios] placed the golden helmet [of the Sun] on Phaethon's head and crowned him with his own fire, winding the seven rays like strings upon his hair, and put the white kilt girdlewise round him over his loins; he clothed him in his own fiery robe and laced his foot into the purple boot, and gave his chariot to his son."
-Nonnus, Dionysiaca 38. 90 ff (trans. Rouse) (Greek epic C5th A.D.)
