Phaeton and the Fiery steeds
Phaeton and the Fiery Steeds- Phaeton was a young son of Helios and Klymene who begged his father to let him drive the chariot of the sun. The Sun-god handed him the reigns. However, the inexperienced Phaethon quickly lost control of the immortal steeds, and the sun-chariot veered out of control setting the earth aflam. Zeus was appalled by the destruction and struck the boy from the chariot with a thunderbolt, hurling his flaming body into the waters of the river Eridanos. His sisters, the Heliades, gathered on the banks, and in their mourning with transformed into trees.
Phaeton is meant "shining one" but he maybe wasn't the only Phaeton, everyone wasn't really into liking him.
