The god Helios is typically depicted as the head of a large family, and the places that venerated him the most would also typically claim both mythological and genealogical descent from him;<ref name=":gender" /> for example, the Cretans traced the ancestry of their king [[Idomeneus of Crete|Idomeneus]] to Helios through his daughter Pasiphaë.<ref name=":5259">[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], ''Description of Greece'' [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Paus.+5.25.9&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160 5.25.9]</ref>

Traditionally the Oceanid nymph [[Perse (mythology)|Perse]] was seen as the sun god's wife<ref>[[Hecataeus of Miletus]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=j0nRE4C2WBgC&pg=PA141 fr. 35A Fowler (p. 141)]; Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA44 p. 44].</ref> by whom he had various children, most notably [[Circe]], Aeëtes, [[Minos]]' wife Pasiphaë, [[Perses of Colchis|Perses]], and in some versions the Corinthian king [[Aloeus]].<ref>Bell, s. v.

At some point Helios warned Aeëtes of a prophecy that stated he would suffer treachery from one of his own offspring (which Aeëtes took to mean his daughter [[Chalciope]] and her children by [[Phrixus]]).<ref>[[Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' [https://archive.org/details/argonautica00apoluoft/page/234/mode/2up?view=theater 3.597–600]</ref><ref>[[Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' [https://archive.org/details/argonautica00apoluoft/page/214/mode/2up?view=theater 3.309–313]</ref>  Helios also bestowed several gifts on his son, such as a chariot with swift steeds,<ref>[[Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' [https://archive.org/details/argonautica00apoluoft/page/308/mode/2up?view=theater 4.220–221]</ref> a golden helmet with four plates,<ref>[[Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' [https://archive.org/details/argonautica00apoluoft/page/276/mode/2up?view=theater 3.1229]</ref> a giant's war armor,<ref>[[Philostratus the Younger|Philostratus]], ''[[Imagines (work by Philostratus)|Imagines]]'' [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/philostratus_younger-imagines_11_argo_aeetes/1931/pb_LCL256.343.xml 11]</ref> and robes and a necklace as a pledge of fatherhood.<ref>[[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]], ''[[Medea (Seneca)|Medea]]'' [https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/sen/sen.medea.shtml 570]</ref> When his daughter [[Medea]] betrays him and flees with [[Jason]] after stealing the [[golden fleece]], Aeëtes calls upon his father and Zeus to witness their unlawful actions against him and his people.<ref>[[Apollonius Rhodius]], ''[[Argonautica]]'' [https://archive.org/details/argonautica00apoluoft/page/308/mode/2up?view=theater 4.228–230]</ref>

As father of Aeëtes, Helios was also the grandfather of Medea and would play a significant role in Euripides' rendition of her fate in [[Corinth]]. When Medea offers Princess [[Creusa of Corinth|Glauce]] the poisoned robes and diadem, she says they were gifts to her from Helios.<ref>[[Euripides]], ''[[Medea (play)|Medea]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0114%3Acard%3D941 956]</ref> Later, after Medea has caused the deaths of Glauce and King [[Creon of Corinth|Creon]], as well as her own children, Helios helps her escape Corinth and her husband.<ref>[[Euripides]], ''[[Medea (play)|Medea]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0114%3Acard%3D1293 1322]</ref><ref>Pseudo-Apollodorus, ''[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Bibliotheca]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022%3Atext%3DLibrary%3Abook%3D1%3Achapter%3D9%3Asection%3D28 1.9.28]</ref> In [[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]]'s [[Medea (Seneca)|rendition]] of the story, a frustrated Medea criticizes the inaction of her grandfather, wondering why he has not darkened the sky at sight of such wickedness, and asks from him his fiery chariot so she can burn Corinth to the ground.<ref>[[Seneca the Younger|Seneca]], ''[[Medea (Seneca)|Medea]]'' [https://www.gutenberg.org/files/46058/46058-h/46058-h.htm 32–41]</ref><ref>Boyle, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=W7icAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA98 98]</ref>

However, he is also stated to have married other women instead like Rhodos in the [[Rhodes|Rhodian]] tradition,<ref>Fowler 2013, pp. 14, 591–592; Hard, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA43 43], [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA105 105]; Grimal, p. 404 "Rhode", pp. 404–405 "Rhodus"; Smith, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DR%3Aentry+group%3D3%3Aentry%3Drhode-bio-1 "Rhode" ], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DR%3Aentry+group%3D3%3Aentry%3Drhodos-bio-1 "Rhodos"]; [[Pindar]], ''Olympian Odes'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Pind.%20O.%207&lang=original 7.71–74]; [[Diodorus Siculus]], [https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/5D*.html#55 5.55]</ref> by whom he had seven sons, the [[Heliadae]] ([[Ochimus]], [[Cercaphus]], [[Macareus of Rhodes|Macar]], [[Actis (mythology)|Actis]], [[Tenages]], [[Triopas]], [[Candalus]]), and the girl [[Alectrona|Electryone]].

In [[Nonnus]]' account from the ''[[Dionysiaca]]'', Helios and the nymph Clymene met and fell in love with each other in the mythical island of Kerne and got married.<ref>[[Nonnus]], ''[[Dionysiaca]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/529#38.105 38.110-141], with a translation by William Henry Denham Rouse.</ref> Soon Clymene fell pregnant with Phaetheon. Her and Helios raised their child together, until the ill-fated day the boy asked his father for his chariot.<ref>[[Nonnus]], ''[[Dionysiaca]]'' [https://topostext.org/work/529#38.105 38.142-217]</ref> A passage from [[Greek anthology]] mentions Helios visiting Clymene in her room.<ref>[[Greek anthology]] ''Macedonius the Consul'' [https://topostext.org/work/532#5.223 5.223]</ref>

The mortal king of [[Elis]] [[Augeas]] was said to be Helios' son, but [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] states that his actual father was the mortal king [[Eleius|Eleios]].<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], ''Description of Greece'' [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160%3Abook%3D5%3Achapter%3D1%3Asection%3D9 5.1.9]</ref>

In some rare versions, Helios is the father, rather than the brother, of his sisters Selene and Eos. A scholiast on Euripides explained that Selene was said to be his daughter since she partakes of the solar light, and changes her shape based on the position of the sun.<ref>Keightley, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=lWAEAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA61 61]</ref>
