Phaethon was the mortal son of Helios, god of the sun. He asked his father if he could drive the sun chariot, and Helios reluctantly consented. Phaethon grew overconfident, and the horses sensed an inexperienced hand driving them and grew out of control. The sun got too close to the earth and burned everything, then too far and everything on earth froze. Zeus finally threw a lightning bolt at the chariot to stop the destruction, blowing apart the chariot and killing Phaethon. Hephaestus reconstructed the chariot, and never again did Helios let anyone else drive the sun chariot but Apollo.
