Juliet makes an allusion to Phoebus when she refers to the sun god, Apollo, who drives the chariot of the sun across the sky. This allusion highlights the power and brightness of Romeo in her eyes.
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds towards Phoebus' lodgings.
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus’ lodging Juliet is asking for the night to come quickly.
an allusion
"Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, towards Phoebus' Lodging."
Allusion is easy to find in Romeo and Juliet because of the side notes. Allusion is a reference to a person, place, or thing in history or in another reading. For example: "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, towards Phoebus' lodging. Such a wagoner as Phaeton would whip you to the west..." (3.2.1-4)
An allusion is an indirect reference to something in particular. An example of an allusion ins Romeo and Juliet would be: In Act 3 Scene 2 Juliet says 'Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner, As Phaethon would whip you to the west, And bring in cloudy night immediately.' These words are an allusion that refers to Helios and Phaethon (the sun-god and his son).

In the interest of accuracy, Juliet does not appear in the opening scene of the play. Her first entrance is Act I, Scene 3.
Juliet is alluding to the classical image of the sun as a chariot, driven by Phoebus, and pulled by horses with feet of fire. She wants the chariot (the sun) to go faster towards Phoebus' lodging (the west, where the sun sets), or in other words, she wants the day to be over. And why? So she can spend the night with Romeo.
