Apollo
Yes, he was. The sky was a burden for him to hold on his shoulders forever more, as a punishment.
He wished to ride his father Helios' flaming chariot across the sky. Helios was very reluctant, but finally gave in to his son's demand. The results were devastating: Phaethon was unable to control the fiery horses and the chariot caused a panic among the constellations and then came to close to the earth, setting whole lands on fire. Finally, to prevent even more destruction, Zeus blasted Phaethon with a thunderbolt.
A Greek mathematician who believed (uncommonly) that the Earth was in orbit around the Sun.
The ancient Greeks believed that every day, Apollo, the god of the sun, would ride a chariot a across the sky, pulling the sun behind him.
Many societies were too simple or primitive to explain why things happen, say, the sun traveling across the sky. They would then think of something simpler than the rotation of the earth around the sun. Like Helios,(the Greek sun god) in his golden chariot pulling the sun across the sky every 24 hrs. So they would make many, or one, different god(s) that all had different attributes, like Athena, the godess of wisdom, to explain natural or supernatural occurances in their environment.
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.
Of course! He had to drive the sun chariot around the Earth, he also encouraged music.
