the sun
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS — noun, accusative case, masculine gender, singular number; functioning as a direct object in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ἥλιος denotes the physical sun, the radiant celestial body. The form ἥλιον is accusative masculine singular, functioning as a direct object; English does not mark case distinctly here, so "the sun" faithfully preserves the singular sense while reflecting its role as the object in context. |
