Editing Helios (section)

==== In dreams ====
It has been suggested that in Ancient Greece people would reveal their dreams to Helios and the sky or the air in order to avert any evil foretold or presaged in them.<ref>[[Euripides]], ''[[Iphigenia in Tauris|Iphigenia Among the Taurians]]'' [http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0112%3Acard%3D42 42–45]: But the strange visions which the night brought with it, [[Iphigenia|I]] will tell to the [[Aether (mythology)|air]], if that is any relief. I dreamed that I had left this land to live in [[Argos, Peloponnese|Argos]],</ref><ref>Cropp, p.[https://books.google.com/books?id=jlbwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA176 176]</ref>

According to [[Artemidorus]]' ''[[Oneirocritica]]'', the rich dreaming of transforming into a god was an auspicious sign, as long as the transformation had no deficiencies, citing the example of a man who dreamt he was Helios but wore a sun crown of just eleven rays.<ref name=":thon" /> He wrote that the sun god was also an auspicious sign for the poor.<ref>Thonemann, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=KS3JDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA146 146]</ref> In dreams, Helios could either appear in 'sensible' form (the orb of the sun) or his 'intelligible' form (the humanoid god).<ref>Thonemann, p.
