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.

In Greek mythology, when Phaethon drove the chariot of the sun, he lost control and the sun chariot veered off course, scorching the earth.
