No: Phaeton is the son of Helios.
Because he wanted to drive the sun chariot.
In Greek Mythology, Phaeton or Apollo is the son of Helios, the sun god. Phaeton was killed by Zeus when he mismanaged to drive the sun chariot and threatened to burn earth.
Phaeton found out Apollo was not his father. Helio was his father. He set out to meet him. Helio promised his son any favor he wanted to prove is bond to him. Phaeton wanted to drive his father's chariot alone. He lost control of it and was thrown into a river and died.
Apollo's sons included the musician Orpheus and the healer Asclepius. The sun chariot was driven by Apollo's son Phaethon, who tragically lost control of it and caused chaos before being struck down by a thunderbolt.

Phaeton was a son of Helios. His symbol is the sun, though not as grand as that of Helios.
Apollo father of Phaëton. Or Helios, as in Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Phaeton was not a god. He was the son of Clymene and Helios, and was struck down by Zeus with a lightning bolt as he was driving his father's chariot.
technically speaking both Apollo and Helios were sun gods. Helios was one of the titans who were overthrown by Zeus (Jupiter), the son of Saturn (a titan himself). the best known story concerning Helios is about his son phaeton who stole his father's chariot and drove it into the sun. in contrast, Apollo is the son of Zeus and leto and thus a totally different individual.
In Greek mythology, Phaeton's death was caused by Zeus, the king of the gods, who struck him down with a thunderbolt for recklessly driving the sun chariot. The symbol associated with Phaeton's death is the sun chariot itself, representing his failed attempt to control the sun's chariot.
Apollo was the son of Zues.
