During the battle with Persephone, Helios was held in Atlas' hand, forming of an orb of light. Helios was taken to the Underworld, where Atlas tried to use his power to destroy the Pillar of the World-and with it, the rest of the world and Mount Olympus (the home of the Olympian Gods).īefore this plan could be fully achieved, Helios was saved by Kratos, who defeated Persephone and chained Atlas to the world in the Pillar's place. His disappearance allowed Morpheus, the God of Dreams, who had been alerted of Persephone's plan, to take over the mortal realm and cast the Gods into a deep slumber. Helios was kidnapped by the mighty Titan by orders of the goddess Persephone, who felt betrayed by the Gods for being forced to stay with her husband Hades, God of the Underworld, six months out of every year.
Although endowed with powers similar to Helios' own, his champion was killed in battle by Kratos. Helios appeared in the gods' wager, with a champion of his own. In Atlas' flashback of the Great War of the Gods and the Titans, Helios can be seen fighting alongside Hermes against the Titans.
