Phaethon, son of Helios.
Helia was one of the seven daughters of Helios, she and her sisters were transformed into poplar-trees and their tears into golden amber, as their brother Phaethon was struck down by Zeus who had lost control of the chariot of the sun.
It was Apollo who ode the golden chariot across the sky every morning to usher in the new day!
Apollo. He rode his chariot of the sun.
Helius, the sun-god, assured Phaethon that he was truly his father and swore an oath that his son could have anthing he desired. Phaethon asked that he be allowed to drive his father's chariot across the sky. Helius could not dissuade the boy, and Phaethon could not control the horses and drove to his death. A phaeton has come into English as a four-wheeled chariot drawn by two horses or an earlier type of convertible automobile.
Phaëthon foolishly asked his father, the Sun (Helios) if he could drive his chariot.
Phaethon, the son of Helios, once drove his father's chariot but lost control of it and Zeus was forced to kill the boy so that earth would not suffer.
Phaethon, the son of Helius, once attempted to drive his father's chariot and when he lost control and scorched the seas and earth, Zeus stuck him down with lightning. Helius, Titan sun god, is often confused with Apollo.
Apollo was the sun god. He drove around in a flying chariot called the sun chariot. The sun chariot was a form of transportation able to transform into anything he desired.
Some say it was Apollo, the god of the sun. But older myths say that Helios was the real god of the sun and that he drove the chariot, so either Apollo or Helios would work.
When Phaeton Drove The Sun chariot of Helios, He lost control and could not handle the power, he destroyed many cities, To stop this madness Zeus Struck a lightning bolt down at Phaeton and with that he was killed.
His name was Phaëton and he was the son of Apollo.
The world was set on fire.
The world was set on fire.
Actually Helios is the Greek God whom drove a golden chariot that was the sun.
There are different variations of this.Some say the Titan Helios, who wasn't a god but still drove the Sun ChariotSome say the Olympian god Apollo ruled the sun and drove the Sun ChariotSome say Apollo represented or ruled the sun but it was Helios who drove the Sun Chariot.
No. The Greeks had two sun gods, Apollo, who drew his power from the sun, and Helios, who drove the sun chariot. The Romans downsized to Apollo only.
Helios, or Apollo, was extremely important to the Greeks because he was the one that drove his chariot across the sky, making the sun rise each day. Therefore, he had control over the lives of the Greeks.
