Early Identifications of Apollo with the Physical Sun in Ancient Greece: Tradition and Interpretation.
It appears that Apollo's identification with the physical sun is predominantly understood in modern scholarship as a philosophical interpretation of a traditional religious belief. More precisely, it is often understood as an application of physical allegoresis on the tenets of traditional religion...
