PHAETON
PHAETHON was a youthful son of Helios who begged his father let him drive the chariot of the sun. The
god reluctantly conceded to the boy's wishes and handed him the reigns. But his inexperience proved
fatal, for Phaethon quickly lost control of the immortal steeds and the sun-chariot veered out of control
setting the earth ablaze. The plains of Africa were scorched to desert and men charred black. Zeus,
appalled by the destruction, smote the boy with a thunderbolt, hurling his flaming body into the waters
of the River Eridanos. Phaethon's sisters, the Heliades, gathered on the banks and in their mourning
were transformed into amber-teared poplar trees. After his death Phaethon was placed amongst the
stars as the constellation Auriga ("the Charioteer"), or else transformed into the god of the star which
the Greeks named Phaethon--the planet Jupiter or Saturn.

The name Phaethon means "the shining" or "radiant one" from the Greek verb phaethô "to shine."
