The Etruscan god of the Sun, equivalent to Helios, was Usil.
His name appears on the bronze liver of Piacenza, next to Tiur, the Moon.
He appears, rising out of the sea, with a fireball in either outstretched hand, on an engraved Etruscan bronze mirror in late Archaic style, formerly on the Roman antiquities market.
On Etruscan mirrors in Classical style, he appears with a halo.

Helios is also sometimes conflated in classical literature with the highest Olympian god, Zeus.
Helios is referred either directly as Zeus' eye, or clearly implied to be.
For instance, Hesiod effectively describes Zeus's eye as the Sun.
This perception is possibly derived from earlier Proto-Indo-European religion, in which the Sun is believed to have been envisioned as the eye of *Dyḗus Pḥₐtḗr (see Hvare-khshaeta).
An Orphic saying, supposedly given by an oracle of Apollo, goes: "Zeus, Hades, Helios-Dionysus, three gods in one godhead!"
When quoting this in his Hymn to King Helios, Emperor Julian substituted the name Dionysus with Serapis, whose Egyptian counterpart Osiris was identified with Dionysus.
On the basis of this oracle, Julian concluded that "among the intellectual gods, Helios and Zeus have a joint or rather a single sovereignty."

Diodorus Siculus of Sicily reported that the Chaldeans called Cronus (Saturn) by the name Helios, or the sun, and he explained that this was because Saturn was the most conspicuous of the planets.
