The Companions of Odysseus Steal the Cattle of Helios (fresco by Pellegrino Tibaldi, 1554/56)

In Greek mythology, the Cattle of Helios (Greek: Ἠελίοιο βόες, romanized: Ēelíoio bóes), also called the Oxen of the Sun, are cattle pastured on the island of Thrinacia, or Thrinakia (in later sources identified with Sicily).
