IV-Fluid
Son of the Sun God and Clymene, a mortal.
Once went to the palace of the sun to find out
whether his father is Apollo or not.
Apollo offered to give proof to him by returning any
request from him, swearing on the river of Styx.
Phathon had often watched the Sun riding through the
heavens. And so, he ask Apollo to let him ride his chariot
even just for a single day.
So, the Sun let him and then realized his own folly and
tried to warn him that no one, not even the ruler of gods
could drive his chariot. Worse, Phathon would hear none
of it.
Apollo had gave up trying to dissuade him. Besides, there was no
time left.
Proudly and joyously Phathon mounted the chariot and they
were off but not a moment later, he felt a sudden change.
Instead of him giving directions, the horses were directing the
course.
The horses soared up to the very top of the sky and plunging
headlong, down, then set the world on fire.
Afterwards, Phathon was wrapped in thick smoke and
heat as if from a fiery furnace. He wanted nothing
except to have the torment and terror ended. Mother
Earth could not bear it too. She then uttered a great
cry which reached up to the gods. Looking down from
Olympus, they saw and must act quickly if the world
was to be cared.
Jove seized his thunderbolt and hurled it at the rash,
repentant driver. It struck him to death and shattered the
chariot and mad the maddened horses rush down into the
sea.
The mysterious river, Eridanus received Phathon and put
out the flame and cooled the body. The Naiads, in pity for
him and buried him.
Glaucus
King of Ephyre later called as Corinth.
He was a great horse men. The gods were angry when
they knew that he supplies his horses a human flesh to
make them fierce in battle.
Glaucus was thrown from his chariot and his horses tore
him to pieces and devoured him.
A young and beautiful man named Bellerophon
was generally held to be his son. It was
rumored, however that his father is Poseidon
and his mother, Eurynome.
More than anything on earth, Bellerophon
wanted Pegasus.
He then went to Athenas temple. And had a bridle all
of gold. He hurried out to the fields to find Pegasus.
In his full suit of bronze armor, he leaped upon his
back and put him through his paces.
He accidentally killed his brother and went to Argos
where the King, Proetus, purified him.
Then, there he met Anteia, who fell in love with him. When he
turned from her and would have nothing to do with her, she
became angry and told her husband that his guest had wronged
her and must die.
Instead of following the letter Proetus have sent, he just asked
Bellerophon to go and slay Chimaera.
But for Bellerophon and riding Pegasus, he just soared up over
her and shot her with arrows.

Then he went back to Proetus, the latter had to think
another way of disposing him.
He got him to go on an expedition against, Solymi,
mighty warriors; then succeeded in conquering him
these, on another against the Amazon where he did
equally.
Finally, Proetus was won over by his courage and his god fortune,
too; he became friends with him and gave him his daughter to
marry.
Bellerophons eager ambition along with his great success led him
to think thoughts too great for man, the thing of all others
objected to.
He tried to ride Pegasus up to Olympus where he believed that
he could take his place there with immortals.
The horse was wiser, so he threw his rider.
Thereafter Bellerophon, hated of the gods, wandered
alone, devouring his own soul and avoiding the paths of
men until he died.
Pegasus found shelter in the heavenly stalls of
Olympus where the steeds of Zeus were cared for.
