Apollo had a solar chariot because In Greece Chariots were a default method of transport

Re used a boat because in Egypt because boats were the default method of transport

as far as passage across the sky, or rather around the world goes, the Norse had the Snake that ate it's own tail.

All three cultures were attempting to explain that which they could not explain via the Divine....Greek mythology was not as clearly personified in it's formative years. when the elemental associations were at the forefront of their attributes.

samne with the Roman Gods.....in the days of the Early rrepublic many of them didn't have faces or corporeal substance, some were never even referred to by name
The Romans believed that everything in life was subject to the divine...even dsimple things like going through a door or drawing a jug of water from a spring.
