Apollo was never actually described by the Greek poets driving the chariot of the sun, although it was common practice among Latin poets.

Helios is still known as the 'sun god' - the one who drives the sun chariot across the sky each day.

"Names of the Horses of Sol [Helios the Sun]. Eous; by him the sky is turned. Aethiops, as if faming, parches the grain. These trace-horses are male. The female are yoke-bearers: Bronte, whom we call thunder (tonitrua), Sterope, whom we call lightning (fulgitrua). Eumelus of Corinth is the authority for this. There are also the ones that Homer names: Abraxas, Therbeeo. Ovid, too: Pyrois, Eous, Aethon, and Phlegon." - Hyginus, Fabulae 183
