What cause Phaeton's downfall?

Phaeton's father, the sun-god, promised to grant Phaeton whatever he wished. Phaeton declared that he wanted to drive the sun-chariot, and although the sun-god tried to discourage him, Phaeton refused to choose something else, and the god was not able to retract his promise. The horses that drew the chariot, under a weaker hand, burst out of control, and Zeus was forced to slay Phaeton with a lightning bolt to save the world from burning up. Phaeton brought about his own downfall by his impetuosity and pride.
