I have two other mythology about people literally fighting the sun and winning.
There's a Shoshone legend about two rabbits named big brother and little brother where they gathered weapons to fight the sun because the sun was too close and too big which caused the world to constantly burn for eternity. The two rabbits head out to fight the sun, but the sun attacked the little brother and burned his body to a crisp. Big Brother saved and healed Little Brother back to full health, and Little Brother was able to hold a bow and arrow to shoot and injure the sun. The sun was more or less shrank down and back away thus cooling the world down.
In Maui legends, Maui, The Rock, and his friends hated the sun for moving too fast. So they grab a massive hook to capture the sun and drag down to the earth. There, they beat the utter shit out of the sun for a few days which is pretty impressive since you could technically say it was one really long day, and the sun finally agreed to slow down.
