Could an ancient civilization/culture group have viewed the sun as an evil, negative force instead of the 'giver of life' or 'king of heavens' it so often appears as?

The closest OTL example I can think of are the pre-Islamic Arabs seeing it as a source of dehydration, but in their case they saw it more as annoying than they did evil.

And yes, I am aware of legends like Hou Yi's but those were more cases of 'the sun was out of control' than they were 'the sun is evil.'
