Homer liked the sunshine too

Ton d' apameibomenos prosephe nephelegereta Zeus:
"Heli, e toi men su met' athanatoisi phaeine
kai thnetoisi brotoisin epi zeidoron arouran."

And answering him cloud-gathering Zeus said:
"Sun, shine for the immortals and for mortal men on the fruitful earth."

Homer, Odyssey 12.384-86
